Table of contents HTML link

In wikipedia's table of contents, by simply putting a hash tag and removing the whitespaces using underscores on the desired content, we can jump to different contents in the same page. Is there a HTML tag to do this? Or must I use Javascript? If so, give me the syntax in jQuery since I'm more comfortable with it. Thanks!

Fragment identifiers on URIs link to elements with matching ids.

<a href="#foo">section name</a>

...

<div id="foo">section contents</div>

Normally you would link to named anchors, like so:

<a name="top"></a>

<a href="#top">go to top of page</a>

But you can use any matching ID really.
