Need a website/html term defined so I can look for code

[Brackis]

What is the name of the trick where you have a Hyperlink that when clicked sends a visitor to farther down on the same page without loading a new page? As seen in lots of website FAQs.
Thanx,

<A NAME="#sectionname">Section Name</a>
Then you'd link using the same page URL, plus #sectionname at the end,

Heh, I wasn't sure of the actual name, but I could give sample code.

Who cares what it's called as long as it works, right? 😀

Yeah, I only use those on localhost stuff to prevent having too many files.

IIRC, you don't need the url, you can simply use the #sectionname, provided it's on the same page.
