The landing point of a link to a specific point in a document is also often called an anchor.

QUOTE(pandy @ Sep 21 2007, 06:22 PM)  The landing point of a link to a specific point in a document is also often called an anchor. http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/links.html#named-anchor very true, you can insert anchor in html document and assign link to it, so when u press the link it will jump to that section of the page. thats usefull on long webpages to avoid scrolling. hyper link is more referred to a link that has specific url externally. |

An anchor is used for internal referances, ex: In a FAQ, you put the questions at the top and answers at the bottom. When a user clicks a question, the screen should jump to the answer.
A hypertext referance is a external link, such as jumping from index.html to page1.html. |

IMHO, hypertext links are more general than that, and can refer to links to named anchors.

And a named anchor doesn't have to be on the same page or even on the same domain.
