javascript anchors Description

A collection of all a elements with assigned name attributes that make them behave as anchors (instead of links). Collection members are sorted in source code order. Navigator and Internet Explorer let you use array notation to access a single anchor in the collection (e.g., document.anchors[0], document.anchors["section3"]). Internet Explorer 4 also allows the index value to be placed inside parentheses instead of brackets (e.g., document.anchors(0)). If you want to use the anchor's name as an index value (always as a string identifier), be sure to use the value of the name attribute, rather than the id attribute. To use the id attribute in a reference to an anchor, access the object via a document.all.elementID (in IE only) or document.getElementById("elementID") reference.
