A bookmark is a named reference point in an HTML document. If a bookmark can be included in the URL that represents this document, the browser will automatically move the display window to the reference point as soon as the document is open.

If you want to define a bookmark in your HTML document, you need to use an "a" element with the "name" attribute. Here are basic rules about defining a bookmark with "a" element:

An "a" element with the "name" attribute defines a bookmark.
The "name" attribute is used to specify a name for this reference point.
The content of the "a" element could be empty.
The content of the "a" element will be display normally by most browsers. This makes a bookmark invisible.

Here is a good tutorial example of bookmark elements:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Bookmark Elements</title>
 </head>
 <body>
