HTML Links - Create Bookmarks
HTML links can be used to create bookmarks, so that readers can jump to specific parts of a web page.
Bookmarks can be useful if a web page is very long.
To create a bookmark - first create the
bookmark, then add a link to it.
When the link is clicked, the page will scroll down or up to
the location with the bookmark.
First, use the id attribute to create a bookmark:
<h2 id="c1">Chapter 1</h2>
Then, add a link to the bookmark ("Jump to chapter 1"), from within the same page:
<a href="#c1"Jump to chapter 1</a>
You can also add a link to a bookmark on another page:
<a href="chapters.html#c1"Jump to chapter
1</a>
Chapter Summary
