How can I create a link to go directly to a specific section of a webpage. For example if you click below and click on one of the Positions link such as Executive assistant/Office Manager it takes you to the Executive assistant section of the page. How is this done? Thanks

<a href="#executive">Executive Assistant</a>

Place loads of text here

<a name="executive">Executive Assistant</a>

@eman @mauco: The more usual way to do such links with HTML4/5 is to use the id attribute, like this:


<a href="#executive">Executive Assistant</a>

Place loads of text here

<h2 id="executive">Executive Assistant</h2>


It's cleaner too, since you don't need that extra 'a' element in the page.

Cheers!
Matt
