Define named anchors and discuss their uses on a web page.

What will be an ideal response?

Some web pages have so much content that viewers must scroll repeatedly to get to information at the top and bottom of the page. To make it easier for viewers to navigate to specific areas of a page without scrolling, you can use a combination of internal links and named anchors. A named anchor is a specific locations on a web page that are represented by a tag and an assigned descriptive name. You then create internal links on the page that the user clicks to jump to browse to the named anchor location. For example, you can insert a named anchor called "top" at the top of a web page, then create a link at the bottom of the page that, when clicked, will display the anchor location (the top of the web page) when viewed in the browser. You can also insert named anchors at strategic spots on a web page, such as paragraph headings. The name chosen for a named anchor should be short and reflect its page location. Also, you should use only lowercase characters; do not use spaces or special characters, or begin an anchor name with a number. The logical order for creating and linking to named anchors is to create a named anchor before you create its link to avoid possible errors.
