Answer 1

If you use jQuery it's pretty simple here is some sample code

Bellow is the #nav where I stored all the clickable links to the articles in this example

Note: I used the goto attribute(custom) to pass the ID for the target Article

  
Link To Text 1
  
Link To Text 2

Here, bellow are the Articles you will be jumping to.

Note: The JavaScript in the last code sample takes the distance of the tag to the top of that page and then scrolls the page down by that same distance measurement taken.

 

  

  

    Sample article Paragraph 1
  
 
 

  

  

    Sample article Paragraph 2
  
 

Finally this is the javascript + jQuery that makes it all work, this solution is best when you are working with fixed and layered components.
