link code not working, cannot get menu links to jump to different sections of same page Options

Hi All,

I have got my first problem solved but had to learn a lot more than I wanted to.

Although the attached code looks correct to me, it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me why?


Thanks

Hi

It's because NAME doesn't exist as an element. It's an attribute for A. Like this:

HTML

<h2><a name="chp1">Introduction</a></h2>

There's no need to use named anchors anymore though. The browsers that need them are so old now, that you can safely ignore them. You can give the H2 an id and link to it in the way you already do.

HTML

<h2 id="chp1">Introduction</h2>
