| Senior Member | Hello NP members! Sorry for another dumb question! I am trying to link to a specific section of a page from the index page. I looked up my Dummy book but since I don't know what this is called, I am having trouble looking it up. Can some help me with this? Thanks again! ![]() EDIT I figured it out! I needed to use "name anchor". For others, here is a clip from w3schools.com: The Anchor Tag and the Name Attribute The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. When using named anchors we can create links that can jump directly into a specific section on a page, instead of letting the user scroll around to find what he/she is looking for. Below is the syntax of a named anchor: <a name="label">Text to be displayed</a> The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. The name of the anchor can be any text you care to use. The line below defines a named anchor: <a name="tips">Useful Tips Section</a> You should notice that a named anchor is not displayed in a special way. To link directly to the "tips" section, add a # sign and the name of the anchor to the end of a URL, like this: <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html_links.asp#tips"> Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a> A hyperlink to the Useful Tips Section from WITHIN the file "html_links.asp" will look like this: <a href="#tips">Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a> Last edited by sf2010; 02-20-2007 at 06:27 AM. |
