A question for you boffins of HTML

[Jason Taylor]

Hi, I've got a question for anyone who'd like to take a shot. I just wanted
to know how you can make a link to a specific point on a page. I've a very
long essay that needs to be on a single page, and I need a small table of
contents at the top, which has links further into the document.

Any help whatsoever would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

The syntax for the first subheading within the document:

<A NAME="subhead1">Some topic or other</A>

The link to it (in the table of contents at the top):

<A HREF="#subhead1">Some topic or other</A>.

"Name" other subheadings and create remainder of table of
contents in similar manner.

Note: To link from a different document:

<A HREF="the_relevant_page.htm#subhead1">Some topic or other</A>
