How To Write Internal Links

By Jennifer Kyrnin, About.com

Link from one part of your page to another part. Set up tables of contents at the top of long pages for better navigation.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes

Here's How:

  1. Use an anchor tag to name the area you want to bounce to:
    <a name="bounce">bounce to here</a>
  2. Use another anchor tag to point to that area you named:
    <a href="#bounce">click here to bounce</a>

Tips:

  1. The #-sign is important as that tells the browser that this is a link within a page.
