HTML DOM Anchor Object
Anchor Object
The Anchor object represents an HTML hyperlink.
For each
instance of an <a> tag in an HTML document, an Anchor object is created.
An anchor can be used to create a link to another document (with the href attribute)
or to create a bookmark inside a document (with the name attribute).
You can access an anchor by searching through the anchors[] array in the Document object, or by using document.getElementById().
IE: Internet Explorer, F: Firefox, O: Opera, W3C:
