TERMS

1. Jump (hyper) Link: - an internal link that allows you to move to various locations on pages or posts.

• <a></a>: anchor tags for hyperlinks. The anchor tags embrace the address of where you want to go.

2. Jump Link within a page or post:

- Pointer Link to where you want to go:
<a href="#anchor text">text to click on</a>

• <a : opening anchor tag (remember to put a space between this and the href=).
• href= : indicates that an address follows specifying a page location for the hyperlink. Without the href the link isn’t a hyperlink.
• “#anchor text" : is the hash tag containing the anchor text to pinpoint the exact location of the target. This needs to be repeated in the target of the link. The anchor text should be relevant to what you are talking about. Ie. if you have text such as ‘for further information refer to Tables (pointer link) use Tables as the anchor text in both pointer and target. And logically the target link will be just before something that is a table heading.
• >text to click on : is the text that you type in for people to click on to go places.
• </a> : closing anchor tag

- Target link is the place you want to end up:
<a name="anchor text"></a>

• <a : opening anchor tag (remember to put a space between this and the name=).
• name= : specifies that the name of the anchor follows.
• “#anchortext" : is the hash tag to anchor the pointer link. This needs to be a repeat of the hash tag in the pointer link. The anchor text is the part of the link that attracts the pointer to the target.
• ></a> : Don’t enter anything between the two opposing brackets as you don’t want to any text to appear where you are heading. For example if you do enter any text such as 'top of page' it will show up at the top. This isn't necessary as you know you are at the top.

Note: the target should be in front of your destination. It will show on the visual screen as a tiny anchor. It doesn’t show on your live website.
