Tag <a name> on portlet rendering in Websphere Portal

I need an information about the portlet management in Websphere portal (6.1.5, but I think is the same for all versions).. When the portal render a portlet, the html created has this structure:

&开发者_运维技巧lt;td> <a name="7_SOMECHARANDNUMBERS"></a> <div class="wpsPortletBody"><portletapi:init/>.....

I need to know what is the tag <a name=""> and what is the element referred to the name attribute value.

Thanks! Bye!!

That's the portlet's identifier. Portal generates a unique ID for each portlet that it renders on a page so that there's no namespace collision between portlets.
