Anchor

From , former About.com Guide

Definition: An Anchor object is automatically created for each of the anchor points on a web page (ie. all <a name="anchorname" id="anchorname">). This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called Anchor but if you do then you will not be able to access the anchors on the page using this object. You will however still be able to access it using the standard DOM methods.
