^ He's talking about giving an element an anchor location. Clicking on <a href="#help">Help</a> takes you to <div id="help"></div> or <a name="help"></a>, wherever it may be on the page.

To the OP, as far as I know, yes you can do that. I'm sure it would have been much easier to just try it out for yourself instead of waiting a couple days for an answer...

^ This. And to add on, you need to change all of them. Right now you have spaces. Doing "<a name="Who id like to meet"></a>" gives that anchor a name of "Who", "id", "like", "to", and "meet", which means the element linking to that would have to be called <a href="#Who">Who I'd like to meet</a>. Names & IDs shouldn't ever have spaces, because they're unique.

[fixtatik]

Yeah, underscores will work, as well as hyphens, or just removing the spaces altogether. I just meant if he kept it exactly as he has it now, only using <a href="#Who"></a> would work.
