html <a name=" to define page

Hi, I do not have an html txt editor, and I would like to put html on the define pages, if I put
<a name="name-element"> </a>
<a href="#name-element"> click paragraph </a>
I hit home page and not in the paragraph. </ strong> br etc works well, but a name not.

At moments I think I fully understand the arrangement you have tried describe, but then I think about it and lose it.

If you have a series of words or a sentence that you want visitors to click on with the expectation that they be directed to somewhere else (on page or away), then the click on words/phrase should be an "a" link but the destination location would likely be a div, span, etc... The way the issue is presented looks like an "a" link is used to go to another "a" link...

Regardless, a little research indicated that at least with html5 (not sure if site is built with that in mind) that the id parameter should be used instead of the name parameter. In keeping with html validation and appropriate use, the id parameter value used should be unique for the page. (only one occurrence of say id="goto-big-text-block")

MC is correct. The HTML5 way of doing this is

Code:

---

<span id="some-search-string"></span>

---

Then you can use the URL
http://some-url#some-search-string

and get to that point in the document.

Hi, what I want to do is go to a place on the same page, as we do with the top of the page. I try this too but it does not work.
this will have to go into the part of the same page
<a href="#A1">1bla bla bla</a>
<a id="A1"></a>2blablabla</strong>

I found I had to use the complete relative url.
eg:
index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2176&products_id=3711#A1

sorry, I can not translate my thoughts, here what I want to do.

Thus, for example, an author might create a table of contents whose entries link to header elements H2, H3, etc., in the same document. Using the A element to create destination anchors, we would write:

<H1>Table of Contents</H1>
<P><A href="#section1">Introduction</A><BR>
<A href="#section2">Some background</A><BR>
<A href="#section2.1">On a more personal note</A><BR>
...the rest of the table of contents...
...the document body...
<H2><A name="section1">Introduction</A></H2>
...section 1...
<H2><A name="section2">Some background</A></H2>
...section 2...
<H3><A name="section2.1">On a more personal note</A></H3>
...section 2.1...
We may achieve the same effect by making the header elements themselves the anchors:

<H1>Table of Contents</H1>
<P><A href="#section1">Introduction</A><BR>
<A href="#section2">Some background</A><BR>
<A href="#section2.1">On a more personal note</A><BR>
...the rest of the table of contents...
...the document body...
<H2 id="section1">Introduction</H2>
...section 1...
<H2 id="section2">Some background</H2>
...section 2...
<H3 id="section2.1">On a more personal note</H3>
...section 2.1...

This is how I do it. Have you tried changing your <P><A href="#section1">Introduction</A><BR> to include the complete relative url - as Torvista suggested?

I do not have to go to another page, I have to stay on the same page a little further down the page.

for example by clicking on <P> <A href="#section1"> Introduction </A> <BR>
I must go lower in the same page a
<H2 id = "section1"> Introduction </ H2>

The code suggested does not need to take you to another page.

It would help if you can give the url of the page where you wish to add this html. You can rename the domain name if you wish.

sorry friends, but i really can't make myself understood, i found an example, see this page
http://www.tagindex.net/html/link/an...le1s.html#a001
and click on

Jump to a001
Jump to a002
Jump to a003

You'll see that it goes up

a001
a002
a003

But always on the same page
it's what I want to do, I've done it many times on other cms but, on zen cart it doesn't work goes into. home page

ok I understood their code and it works

<h3><a name="menu">Menu</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="#a001">Jump to a001</a></li>
<li><a href="#a002">Jump to a002</a></li>
<li><a href="#a003">Jump to a003</a></li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="a001">a001</a></h3>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>

<h3><a name="a002">a002</a></h3>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>

<h3><a name="a003">a003</a></h3>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
<p>paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text</p>
