Anchor navigation on Wordpress blog
November 30, 2010 9:47 AM Subscribe
I'm working on a Wordpress blog that has a number of "featured" (not quite the right word) items on the front page - these are not grouped together and are not in any order. I want to be able to link to them on the main page using anchors.
Right now I have a nav element that links to <a name="#<?php the_time('gis'); ?> (using the timestamp as a unique ID), with the corresponding anchor at the post. When I look in the source it does have matching IDs at the nav and the post, but when I actually click the links it doesn't jump down. Any ideas why this isn't working, or a better way to do this?

Response by poster: Sorry, to clarify I have an href on the link and a name where I want it to go.

Best answer: Ah, I had an extra # in the name - this now works!
