Named Anchor Links

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.
