Jumping to Text within a Page

  • Theme Gather
    I have a simple requirement.

    I have a page with several descriptions of courses. I would like to list the course titles at the top of the page and then when someone clicks on the title, they can see more because it jumps to the course description. What I want is not unlike having a list of FAQs, clicking on it question and then jumping to the answer.

    I have read the forum, looked at plugins and I don’t understand why I can’t figure this out. Maybe it is because I am a 68 year old lady and not very technical (but not stupid). Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I know how to link to pages, but this request is for

      within

    a page.

  • Try this tutorial. It’s explained very well.

    https://www.wendycholbi.com/anchor-links-jump-links/

    For your list of topics create links but make the href #yourSubject

    <a href="#yourSubject">Your Subject</a>

    Then in the text, give the subtitle of that part a heder tag and add ID=yourSubject

    <h2 id="yourSubject">Your Subject</h2>

    Hope that makes sense but come back if not.

    I believe I understand the concept, but I am doing something wrong.

    Below is where I want to jump to.
    <h2><span style=”color: #800080;”> Amy Landesman: Helping Individuals with Incarceration Histories Land the Job</span></h2>

    Here is the tag I made
    <h2> id=”amy”><span style=”color: #800080;”> Amy Landesman: Helping Individuals with Incarceration Histories Land the Job</span></h2>

    When I look at it in visual, the id=”amy” shows up as text. I did note that the tag gets changed to

    id=”amy”> Bust I see this in your example as well. Can you suggest what I am doing wrong? Much appreciated.

    Clearly I am not an html person.

    Needs to be:

    <h2 id="amy">
