What Is The Correct Alternative For The Attribute "name"?

When I validate this page with the w3c validator, I am told that 'the name attribute is obsolete,' however, I cannot find an alternative. Every article I can find about linking wit

Solution 1:

You can skip to any element with specified identifier like that:

<divid="navigation"></div><divid="content"></div><divid="footer"></div><ahref="#navigation">Skip to navigation</a>

Solution 2:

you can use a class name or an id:

<aid="top"></a><aclass="top"></a>

or you can assign multiple class to make it more specific

<aclass="link top"></a>

or with html5 you can do this:

<adata-name="top" ></a>

Solution 3:

in the old days, speek html 4, you could to internal links like:

<a href="#bottom">link</a>

and the target would be

<aname="bottom"></a>

Now this days we do it like that:

<a href="#bottom">link</a>

target:

<foo id="bottom"></foo>

You see i use foo, because it can be whatever element you like
