Jump to sections of an asp net page

Hello,
I have an asp net page with separate VB code behind page.
The aspx page is about 2000 px long. There are is a top, middle, and lower sections.
I need to be able to jump to each section based on various events in my code behind.
I was thinking of putting a heading label for each section. I would like a command that I could insert as needed in my code behind to jump to specific labels. It will need to work across desktop and mobile platforms.
Thanks,
WillieCg

Jump to anchor name:

<%@ Page Title="My Page" Language="VB" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a name="first"></a>
<div style="height:600px">First</div>
<a name="second"></a>
<div style="height:600px">Second</div>
<a name="third"></a>
<div style="height:600px">Third</div>
<% If (10 > 0) Then %>
<script>location.hash="second";</script>
<% End If %>
</body>
</html>

Or by JavaScript:

<%@ Page Title="My Page" Language="VB" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="first" style="height:600px">First</div>
<div id="second" style="height:600px">Second</div>
<div id="third" style="height:600px">Third</div>
<script>
setTimeout('document.getElementById("<% If (10 > 0) Then Response.Write("second") %>").scrollIntoView(true)',0);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Hello,
Thanks for the info.

I understand
<a name="first"></a>

is the tag in the aspx page.

What is the vb command in the code behind page?

Thanks,

For the Anchor tags was this my VB code:

<% If (10 > 0) Then %>
<script>location.hash="second";</script>
<% End If %>

Open in new window

But you can do it also like the second example with VB statement: Response.Write()

Thanks, I am a tinker tinkerer. I do not follow your point.

I have a button in the aspx file named button_jump_2_top.

Here is the code in the code behind file:

Protected Sub Button_Jump_2_top_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button_Jump_2_top.Click

'What goes here?

End Sub

What is the code that jumps to <a name="top"></a> in the aspx file.

Thank for your patience.
