Named Links

Hi guys
I am using classic ASP in my website
I have this asp webpage with one link (More,,,) -see attachment-
I would like the user to click on More... and be taken to a section further down in the same webpage.
I tried using the the name attribute but could not get it working.
Thanks
Dory

The ID in this case does not have to be a number. It could be any alpha-numeric. Below is a sample that using asp-vb. YOu can place the "ID" the link refers to on just about any element <div id="abc"><td id="abc"><span id="abc"><ul id="abc"><li id="abc">

<%
dim ItemNo
ItemNo="35"
' in your case, it would look more like
' ItemNo = rsItems.ID
%>

<a href="#<%=ItemNo%>">More...</a>  


<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
<%for x = 1 to 50%>
  <tr>
    <td id="<%=x%>"><%=x%></td>
    <td>stuf</td>
    <td>stuff</td>
    <td>stuff</td>
  </tr>
  <%next%>
</table>

Named Links...

Your link for example
<a href="#morecontent">More</a>

Further down the page
<a name="morecontent">More Content Heading</A>

@GaryC123, I think the "a name" is going obsolete. http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/a.html. While it still works, it is probably better to not use it for anything new.

True, I'm not very upto date...
