Wordpress links within a page

Question

I am trying to implement bookmarks/inline page linking to my wordpress page.

I have tried the simple rule in the wordpress page editor.

<p id="name1">.....................</p>

and call it using this following link

<a href=#name1> Go to name1 </a>

But it does not work. It stays at the same location though the URL has been updated with #name1 suffix

Answer 1

try:

<a href=#name1> Go to name1 </a>

<h1 name="name1"></h1>
<p>.....................</p>

Personally I recommend anchoring to the header, not the paragraph as that's a bitt messy.
