>That's a good explanation. The explanation is not so good
because name is becoming depraciate that why for creating achor you can use id span instead of <a> example <a href="#ibox"> the box < /a> <span id="ibox"> sdgsgsdfg dsf fgdfhsdh sdfhsdgfhs </span> You can test it, it works ! and it is standard ! in XHTML 2 - W3c text- The Hypertext Module provides an element that traditionally has been used in HTML to define hypertext links to other resources. Although all elements may now play the role of a hyperlink (using the href attribute) or hyperlink anchor (using the id attribute), this element remains for explicit markup of links, though is otherwise identical in semantics to the span element.
