Synopsis
NAME=”elementIdentifier"
Required for anchors
The traditional way to signify an anchor position within a document.
Other link elements can refer to the anchor by setting their
HREF
attributes to a URL ending in a pound sign
(#
) followed by the identifier. Omitting the
NAME
(and ID
) attribute for the
A
element prevents the element from being used as
an anchor position. This attribute is interchangeable with the
ID
attribute in recent browsers. If the
NAME
and HREF
attribute are set
in the element, the element is considered both an anchor and a link.
Example
<A NAME="sect3">Section III</A>
Value
Case-sensitive identifier.
Default
None.
