    How can I hyperlink to a web page which doesn't have the anchor "name" attribute?

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to hyperlink to a web page which doesn't have the anchor "name" attribute (e.g., <a name="thename"> ), but has tags such as, <strong>. So, my question is, is it possible to hyperlink to a tag?
    The only way that I know is the following:
    Code:
    <a href="http://thepage.com/example.html#thename">The Web Link</a>
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    The name attribute was created for linking to sections in your site/page, such as a link to the top of your page, or a link to your most viewed section of the site/page.

    So I don't think that it's possible to link to HTML elements. Of course I may be wrong.

    Thanks, Death

      You can use 'id' but you're still in the same boat.
