Do anchor links work across text blocks?

I use the Wordpress Theme Enfold.

I have a page that contains multiple text blocks. I want to place an anchor in text block number 1, which directs people to text block number 5, which is all the way at the bottom.

Is this possible? I thought it might not be, because text block number 1 is a whole separate entity then text block number 2. Perhaps anchors only work WITHIN one text block.

Please help; i would be happy to clarify if need be. -Elliot

Yes! You would give the text block that you want to jump to an id tag:

 <p id="jump-here">All the text information!</p>

And then you would reference that id tag in your href link:

<a href="#jump-here"> Read all the info!</a>

There are more references to different types of links you can reference. Something like this might help: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp
