Html difficulty

[Howto]

Hello guys!

Well i know html is not a programming language but i didn't know where to make the thread so i made it here and moderators will move it if they think it's necessary

So, i am studying html for a week now and i find a difficulty in understanding what the "name" attribute is which is used in the link element( that means <a>)
I saw this and w3schools(this is where i learn html) says it specifies the name of an anchor.

Which means?
Please explain me and if it's possible make an example for me.

Thanks

Ok, so let's say you have this:

Code: Select all

<h1><a name="LOLBRO">LOLBRO</a></h1>

Let's say this code is in a file called index.html. So then if you did this:
website.com/index.html#LOLBRO then it would automatically scroll down so that the LOLBRO link would be at the top of the screen.
