in HTML, url contains #, scroll page to header?

Question

If my url is something like: http://www.thisisawebsite.com/page.php#about
How do i make it so when the link is clicked, it'll go to the header "about", or anywhere else i so desire?

Answer 1

Just markup the header on the target page with the id "about" i.e.

About

That way your link on the linking page http://www.thisisawebsite.com/page.php#about will go straight to the "about" header - a h1 in this example but it could be whatever you'd given the id of "about". Remember you should only use the id "about" once on the page though.
