Bookmark

1. When referring to the Internet or a browser, a bookmark or electronic bookmark is used to describe a method of marking a page so it can be referenced at a later time without having to remember the address. For example, a user running Netscape can bookmark a page by clicking the bookmark drop down menu at the top of the screen and selecting add page. Users running Microsoft Internet Explorer save their pages as a favorite.

2. When referring to the Internet and HTML, a bookmark link refers to a section on a web page marked in the HTML code using the <A NAME="name"> tag (which is the bookmark) and then linking to that bookmark with a <A HREF="#name"> tag, where #name is the name of the bookmark.
