This normal like anchoring within a page.

Ex:

<ul>
<li> <a href="#highlightedText">Go to Highlighted Text</a></li>
....
....
</ul>

.
.
.
.
<a name="highlightedText">
... Your Text Content Goes Here ....
</a>

This is the way u can do that..

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply. Here wat u said i agree with it.But i dont want the explained text need to be a link. Is there anything like window.scollByLines(35). This i have given like
<a href="" runat="Server" onclick="window.scrollByLines(35);">Can i cancel</a>
But its not working is there any other javascript function that help me

the scrollByLines() JScript is imho unnecessary overhead, a link as proposed is exactly doing what you want (even with Javascript disabled)

Hi,
Thanks for reply..
Still i didnt get the answer for my question.
In one web page i am creating links as follows:

<a href="" runat="Server">Cancel the order</a>
<a href="" runat="Server">Correct the order</a>
<a href="" runat="Server">Mistake in the order</a>

This web page is a big one.
What i want is when clicking on the first link it need to navigate to the corresponding text in the same web page.
eg: the explanation text of first one is as follows:
Cancel the order
Cancelling the order...................
Hope u got it.
earlier i got one answer from bytes.com give it as like this.

This normal like anchoring within a page.

Ex:

<ul>
<li> <a href="#highlightedText">Go to Highlighted Text</a></li>
....
....
</ul>
 
.
.
.
.
<a name="highlightedText">
... Your Text Content Goes Here ....
</a>

This is the way u can do that..

<a name="some_name">…</a>

is not a link, it's just an anchor element (like <span>) you only call it a link if a href attribute is present. if you don't do any additional formatting, you will not even see it's an anchor element.

you can also put the anchor tag in front of the text, if you like:

<a name="some_name"></a>
<!-- <a name="some_name"/> in XHTML-->
<p>description coming here</p>
