Fig. K.6 Using internal hyperlinks to make pages more easily navigable (part 3 of 3).
Line 16 contains a named anchor (called features) for an internal hyperlink. To
link to this type of anchor inside the same Web page, the href attribute of another anchor
element includes the named anchor preceded with a pound sign (as in #features). Lines
73–74 contain a hyperlink with the anchor features as its target. Selecting this hyperlink
in a Web browser scrolls the browser window to the features anchor at line 16.
Look-and-Feel Observation K.1
Internal hyperlinks are useful in XHTML documents that contain large amounts of information.
Internal links to various sections on the page make it easier for users to navigate the
page: They do not have to scroll to find a specific section. K.1
Although not demonstrated in this example, a hyperlink can specify an internal link in
another document by specifying the document name followed by a pound sign and the
named anchor as in:
href = "page.html#name"
