All right. At the top, where you want to put the skip navigation link, put this:

<a href="#sn">Skip Navigation</a>
It is just liike a regular link. Notice the syntax. This code should be copied in directly. In the quotes, you will want to put in whatever you are going to call it, such as SN for skip navigation. Outside of the quotes and the greater than sign, you will want to put in whatever you want displayed on the page, such as skip navigation. And, the number (pound) sign also has to be before you start calling it in the quotes. Then, below the skip navigation, where ever you want the skip navigation to go, you will have to create a name attribute. You do this like this:
<a name="sn">display Text</a>
with this, you will want to use the same name you assigned at the top, in this case sn. then, outside of the quotes, you will call it whatever you want, for instance, if it is a chapter, you will put chapter 2 or whatever.
I hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi,

Yes sort of.  A link to skip through text and links to get to the main
content on the page.  Say for example, I add something to my shopping cart.
When the next page comes up I'm at the top of the page so I will have to
arrow all the way down to view what was added to the shopping cart.  So if I
had this "skip to main content" navigation link all I had to do is click on
that and it will take me down the page to where the content start for the
shopping cart instead of me arrowing all the way down that page.  I hope
this is clear.

Just to make this clear, you are wanting to make a same page link? For instance, you want to make a link to go from one part of a page to the other?
