In original HTML, this would be written as: <a name=“top”>. Some browers support id and some support name.
Because of support issues, you might consider coding this as:
<a id=“top” name=“top”>

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
In the top and details anchors, notice that there are no words between the <a> and the </a>, This means there is nothing visible on the page that indicates this is a link to location. In the fulltext example, the words Gettysburg Address are between the <a> and the </a> so the words appear on the page.

When you are linking to an anchor within a page as opposed to the top of the page, you use the #followed by the id or name assigned to the anchor.
This illustrates hover.
This illustrates active.
This is where I am having problems. This is the color for visited.
