html - How to navigate to a section of a page

Question

I have a landing page with links. How can I direct user to a section of a different page?

Main Page:

<a href="/sample">Sushi</a>
<a href="/sample">BBQ</a>

Sample Page:

<div id='sushi'></div>
<div id='bbq'></div>

Clicking on "Sushi" or "BBQ" in the Main Page should navigate the user to the div with id sushi or bbq (respectively) of the page sample.

Is it possible without JQuery? I do not mind using JQuery but a simpler solution using html would work too.

Answer 1

Use HTML's anchors:

Main Page:

<a href="sample.html#sushi">Sushi</a>
<a href="sample.html#bbq">BBQ</a>

Sample Page:

<div id='sushi'><a name='sushi'></a></div>
<div id='bbq'><a name='bbq'></a></div>
