Links to page sections
How do you link to different sections of a page? Linking to the top I can manage, but how do you create a specific target on a page to jump to?
RE: Links to page sections
Hi Peter.
You need to create an anchor.
Place your cursor where you want the anchor to appear, then in Dreamweaver choose Insert -> Named anchor. Type the name of your anchor in the dialogue box that appears. eg. section1. A yellow marker should appear in design view.
The code generated like this:
<a name="section1"></a>
Then to link to an anchor (Frontpage calls them bookmarks), you simply link to the name of the anchor, prefixed by a hash. eg. #section1
The code looks like this:
<a href="#section1">Go to section 1</a>
I hope this answers your question. If it does, please mark this question as resolved.
Regards, Rich
