HTML direct Links within page

[igotregistered]

Hi,

I'm new here and would be considered an extreme "starter" with HTML code. I'm looking to do something very simple, but I just can't find help on it anywhere with google.

Basically, I run a sports website which is entirely vbulletin. I'm very good with copying code to create new templates. I've run into a snag with this project though.

I created an alphabetical search bar like the memberlist.php page in vbulletin. I want to insert this into a page I created which has hundreds of hockey player links alphabetized under their corresponding alphabetical letter by last name.

I would like each letter [when clicked] to go directly to that corresponding letter on the page.

Basically, if a person clicks "K", they will automatically page down to where "K" is on the page.

I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any help offered.

Thank you

I've been doing some looing around and it appears it's

HTML "Go To" code. Sort of like go to top of page, but I want to go directly to the letter clicked in the alphabetical search bar.

Like below, I'd click on a and go directly to the "a's"

a|b|c|d|e.............................

<a href="#a">Click here to view "A" names</a>
...other content...
<a name="a">
Albert
Anthony
...etc...

if the link is on a different page than the name list, then it would be like this:

(linking page)
<a href="namelistpage.htm#a">Click here to view "A" names</a>

(name list page)
...other content...
<a name="a">
Albert
Anthony
...etc...

(linking page)
<a href="namelistpage.htm#a">Click here to view "A" names</a>

(name list page)

Hi Thank you for responding.

Basically I think I'm starting to find the "real words" for what I'm trying to do now.

HTML jump?

1. I would have my menu bar like this on the top of my page:
a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j|k|l|m|n|o|p|q|r|s|t|u|v|w|x|y|z

2. If I click "c" on the menu above it would take me to the letter c on my page below

A
Alberts, Tom
Alvin, Gary
Amber, Terry
Ander, Jennifer

B
Barry, Len
Brandow, Marlin
Brent, Tom

C<-------------
Cat, Dog
Crab, bob
Christy, Tom

<a href="#a">a</a>|<a href="#b">b</a>|<a href="#c">c</a>|etc.


<a name="a">A</a>
Alberts, Tom
Alvin, Gary
Amber, Terry
Ander, Jennifer

<a name="b">B</a>
Barry, Len
Brandow, Marlin
Brent, Tom

<a name="c">C</a>
Cat, Dog
Crab, bob
Christy, Tom

etc.

Good luck!

I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question but should this work within php code?
