The standards let you use both the
name
and
href
attributes within a
single
<a>
tag, defining a link to another document and a fragment iden-
tifier within the current document. We recommend against this because
it overloads a single tag with multiple functions and some browsers may
not be able to handle it. Instead, use two
<a>
tags when such a need
arises. Your source will be easier to understand and modify and will work
better across a wider range of browsers.
