10.1.2 Explicitly Anchored Hyperlink Notes
It is the link that opens up portion or section of the same web page when clicked. This type of
hyperlinks is particularly useful when a web page is too lengthy or has various sections. In these
links we use the ‘name’ attribute instead of the href attribute. The value of the name attribute
becomes a label that identifies a location to which a hyperlink can point.
Example:
<a href=”#C4">See also Chapter 4.</a>
The above link when clicked opens up Chapter 4 available on the same document which is
shown below:
<h2><a id=”C4">Chapter 4</a></h2>

10.1.3 Why Links Fail?

a hyperlink.

This error message could be of one of the following two types:
z The first type of error message tells you that the file could not be found. This means that
the URL doesn’t points to the file you wanted. This can occur when the URL mentioned
was incorrect, the owner of the file targeted by the URL has moved the file to a different
location or the file does not exist any longer.
