and then jump to the location:

(I want the .net and dx9 icons to link to the driver section)

Answer 1

Oh ryan, it is relatively simple. I did it to one of my webapplications.Technically after you press on your javascript jumpTo(); button you could have this:
onclick=" javascript:jumpTo(); window.location= '/drivers.html#here';"

And of course you have within your drivers.html the anchor.
+ OpenGL
The reason why I placed a + next to OpenGL is that people can navigate faster, you can wish not to place it.

I hope you understand that. Try doing a simple link to understand what window.location does. like:

That will navigate to your /page1.html page. Good luck on your quest :) Nice website you have there :) Game programming is nice :)

Answer 2

Use the # anchor.
Click here to go there.

Go there

You can just put it IN the tag itself like:
Click here to go there.

If you really really need to use javascript, then try location.hash.

onclick="javascript:location.hash='#hash'"
