How do you create links to sections on the same page in HTML?

To create links to a link within the page currently in two HTML tags need to be used.

<A HREF="#top">Top</a>

<A NAME="top">

The first tag <A HREF="#top">Top</a> is different in that it has a # which represents a name statement When the user clicks on Top the computer would then go to the name tag if found.

The second tag <A NAME="top"> is where the first tag will reference when clicked.
