By the way: SSI = Server Side Includes/interface/Whatever"I"canMean.

Its a technology used to add code to html files at the time of the http request. This makes it possible to have server side dynamic content within your page. Another popular usage of SSI is to add headers and footers to all of your pages. Since all headers/footers come from a single file its easier to change them later.

A little confusing, but...

To go to a spot on the same page you need two tags. The spot you want to go to needs a name like this
<A NAME="gohere">
The link needs to be in this form.
<A HREF="page.html#gohere">

Note that the page.html can be the same page you are on. I don't think that you need to put in the page name but I always do in case I want to cut and paste to another page as the site grows.

One thing to think about is that several small pages give the appearance of loading faster. (Although it actually takes longer.)

Hope this is what you wanted.

In short:
.shtml is the file extention normally associated with SSI files.

In much longer:
Most System Administrators turn on SSIs. Because of the extra burden placed on the server, however, limitations are placed on the types of files that can have SSI commands. This limitation is based on the ending characters of each filename, called the filename extension. Usually, it's something like .shmtl. So any file that ends in .shmtl is handled as an SSI file by the server. You can set the filename extension by using the AddType directive in the srm.conf file.
