3You don't have more than one element with the ID div2 do you? – j08691 Jul 24 '15 at 20:57

1The code you posted looks to me like it should work. For further help, consider posting a [minimal, complete, and verifiable example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). – Maximillian Laumeister Jul 24 '15 at 21:02

You'll want an anchor tag for that, as so:
<a name="div2"></a>
Put that tag in the div you want to shortcut to.

3An anchor tag is actually not necessary - you can use an id as well. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2835140/how-do-i-link-to-part-of-a-page-hash – Maximillian Laumeister Jul 24 '15 at 20:59

Per [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a): This attribute (`name`) is required in an anchor defining a target location within a page. A value for name is similar to a value for the id core attribute and should be an alphanumeric identifier unique to the document. Under the HTML 4.01 specification, id and name both can be used with the element as long as they have identical values. Usage note: This attribute is obsolete in HTML5, use global attribute id instead. – j08691 Jul 24 '15 at 21:02

@DineshChakravarthy I don't see any img tags in your example. Please provide an example that actually reflects your question/problem – ydobonebi Jul 24 '15 at 21:53
