Internal LInks

On a page I have I want ti implement some ‘internal’ links or jumps using:
<a href="#codeword">Viewable clickable text</a>

and then the corresponding anchor of:
<a name="codeword"></a>

However, after I save the page and go to test nothing works as expected. When I later re-edit the page and look at the code, the anchor text has become:
<a title="codeword" name="codeword"></a>

Am I missing something in not being able to use this part of html or do I need to do my internal links differently?

Cheers.
