Answer 1

Sean I.T. is correct you need to use the # for a named anchor, but if you are using frames, don't forget the target="framename" in your link tag

Answer 2

The key character is #. You put that in the tag you want it anchored to and you make the link call that anchor.

You just make the anchor call the tag's name. It would even work for

You're going to compose some very simple html for this explanation. Out of the sample I provide below, what you will be looking for is how the page on the left stays put, while the page on the right changes, and even scrolls to the specified anchors.

The sample consists of one parent file (which creates the frames), the "right" files (which appear on the right side of the frameset) and one "left" file (that appears on the left side of the frameset, with the links).

To get started, on your computer, create a directory (anywhere) to put the HTML files shown below. You will create five files total, all in the same directory (that you just created):
- frameparent.html
- left.html
- right1.html
- right2.html
- right3.html

Cut and paste the html shown below into those files (all in the same directory) and study how the links use the "target" and "href" attributes to target the frames and anchors within the frames. That should solve it for you!

Notice how your frameset definition must provide the name for each target frame that is used by the "target" attribute of your hyperlinks.

Hope this helps.
