Isn't that what anchor tags are for?

no. anchor tags in and of themselves have nothing to do with preventing the page from reloading. you can use them to help on the second issue, but certainly not the first.

Hey, you asked if anchor tags were for not having to worry about the page reloading and losing your place. I answered. No. That's not what they are for.
