Anchors are HTML tags that are placed strategically in your document so that you can create links to specific passages or places within the same document. This is extremely useful if you have a long document or if you know that users will have an interest in only parts of a document. These anchors can even be used to create links that will bring you from one document to a particular place in another document.

You need to give a name for the anchor that is placed in the HTML page but is invisible when using a browser like Netscape. In addition you are asked to creat some visual text. This text is usually some form of heading which is followed by the desired content.
Experienced authors of HTML pages will place anchors in their documents at various points for others to reference.

This example of a link has the HREF that is common to all links in the HTML format. The significant difference is that it includes the "#" sign in front of the link. Since this anchor links to a spot on the same page no other information is needed. If the link is anchored to another page it would be important to include the page name and its' location. For example it might look like this:

Try making a few anchors in your document. Perhaps you could create a table of contents and anchor the topic headings.
