I believe the example you ve posted is using HTML5  which allows you to jump to any DOM element with the matching ID attribute   To support older browsers  you ll need to change    lt div id  timeline  name  timeline      gt    To the old format    lt a name  timeline    gt    You ll then be able to navigate to  academics page html timeline and jump right to that section   Also  check out this similar question

I tried the above answer - using page html ID name it gave me a 404 page doesn t exist error   Then instead of using  html  I simply put a slash   before the   and that worked fine  So my example on the sending page between the link tags looks like    lt a href   http   my website com target-page  El Chorro  gt El Chorro lt  a gt    Just use   instead of  html
