Peter,

Tell me if this makes sense:


above first paragraph:
<a name="top">Bryan's Die-cast Drag Car Collection</a>
title:
Bryan's Die-cast Drag Car Collection

first paragraph:
The tables shown below list the
Top Fuel,
link to jump to the funny car section:
<a href="diecast.htm#fc">Funny Car</a>
Funny Car,
and
Pro Stock
car's in my stable.

first section:
Top Fuel

Table with 7 columns and 33 rows
after each section content:
jump back up to the list of sections at the top:
<a href="diecast.htm#top">Back to top</a>

just above where you want to jump to:
<a name="fc">Funny Car</a>
Funny Car

Table with 7 columns and 40 rows

after each section content:
jump back up to the list of sections at the top:
<a href="diecast.htm#top">Back to top</a>

The example was to jump down past the top fuel table to the list of funny 
cars and then hit the link to jump back up to the intro paragraph.
If it was confusing, check out the page at:
