Boy, do I need help! I’ve created lovely HTML scrolling text with an external .txt file and have no problem creating links externally to the site. Here’s the but…

I can’t work out how to:

1. Create links within the HTML that take me to different scenes within the site I’m working on.
2. Create named anchors within the same bit of text. I have used \<a name=“link”\>\</a\> with \<a href="#link"\>Link\</a\> and all that does is take me straight back to the top of the scrolling text

Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
