The page jump is a simple HTML trick that involves the anchor tag and a little naming. The page jump allows visitors to click and jump to a different part of a page. This is a great trick to use in FAQ type pages, especially if the list is quite long.

1. Create your hyperlink code with the URL.

2. Add after the URL ‘#’ and a name for your url.


<a href="URL#nameyourlink"></a>

3. Place the following anchor where you want your topic to jump to on your page.


<a name="nameyourlink"></a>

Simple, right?
