How do i create links to sections on the same page in HTML?

The NAME Attribute
The name attribute allows an anchor tag to be used to point to a specific place on a web page. You might link from the bottom of a long page to the top of the page, or link from an item in a Table of Contents to the corresponding item where it appears on the page.

The syntax for using the name attribute is like this:

<a name="top"></a> » or...
<a name="TOC">Table of Contents </a>

You can leave out the text between the "a" tags or use them to surround some text. It will not be clickable, however, because this is not the link, this is the anchor a link will point to.

In the first example you would link to the top of a page from the bottom of a long page, and maybe other points in between so your visitors could jump back to the top instead of scrolling.

Or, you might place a named anchor as shown in the second example around the Table of Contents then link to it from strategic places down the page so your visitors can quickly jump to the Table of Contents after reading an article.

To link to that named anchor you'd code your link like this:

<a href="#TOC">Table of Contents</a>
