You should have a read of %26#039;The Anchor Tag and the Name Attribute%26#039; on http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links... This tells you how to make named links which can then be used as targets for anchor tags.

Try and make all of your tags properly formed. So use something like

%26lt;a name=%26quot;fred%26quot; /%26gt;

at the point where you are defining Freds details.

Then use

%26lt;a href=%26quot;#fred%26quot;%26gt;Freds Details%26lt;/a%26gt;

when you want to link to their details.

Like this:

%26lt;a href=%26quot;#anchorResults%26quot;%26gt;Results Paragraph %26lt;/a%26gt;

Later or before

%26lt;a name=%26quot;anchorResults%26quot;%26gt;%26lt;/a%26gt;

%26lt;h2%26gt;Results%26lt;/h2%26gt;

Other Replys:Because you say that it should be a LIST of staff members:

%26lt;ul title=%26quot;Staff Members%26quot;%26gt;

鑱借伣%26lt;li%26gt;%26lt;a href=%26quot;#russell%26quot;%26gt;Russell%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/li%26gt;

鑱借伣%26lt;li%26gt;%26lt;a href=%26quot;#henry%26quot;%26gt;Henry%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/li%26gt;

鑱借伣%26lt;li%26gt;%26lt;a href=%26quot;#fred%26gt;Fred%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/li%26gt;

鑱借伣%26lt;li%26gt;%26lt;a href=%26quot;#jean%26gt;Jean%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/li%26gt;

鑱借伣%26lt;li%26gt;%26lt;a href=%26quot;#sally%26gt;Sally%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/li%26gt;

鑱借伣%26lt;li%26gt;%26lt;a href=%26quot;#julie%26quot;%26gt;Julie%26lt;/a%26gt;%26lt;/li%26gt;

%26lt;/ul%26gt;

...I%26#039;ve set your elements as list items (li) in an unordered list (ul). It can also be an ordered list (ol), but that will produce numbers instead of bullets and that may denote some sort of ranking.

Now, in order for these things to work, there should be items in the same page that have ID%26#039;s that correspond to the %26quot;href%26quot; values of your links, like:

%26lt;p id=%26quot;russell%26quot;%26gt;This is the paragraph about Russell.%26lt;/p%26gt;

%26lt;p id=%26quot;henry%26quot;%26gt;This is the paragraph about Henry.%26lt;/p%26gt;

Having a href=%26quot;#russell%26quot; means that the anchor (a) links to an element within a page that is identified by the string following #. So, basically, you can think of id=%26quot;something%26quot; being the partner of href=%26quot;#something%26quot;.

If you have an anchor with href=%26quot;#something%26quot; and no element in the page has id=%26quot;something%26quot;, it won%26#039;t work.

find the anchor symbol and click and name this where you want an anchor

always wise to put an anchor at top of page and call it top
