im trying to make a inner page anchor:

<a href="#topic1">....</a>

content

<a name="#topic1">topic 1</a>
bla bla

for some reason it not scrolls.. anyone have a fix for it?

Answer 1

Your anchor should point to an element with an id, e.g.

<a href="#topic1">....</a>

content

<h3 id="topic1">....</h3>

Otherwise the anchor doesn't have somewhere to point to.

Hope this helps.
