When you link to a page, a Web browser presents the top of the linked
page by default. There are times when you may want to link to a topic somewhere
in the middle of a page, or elsewhere on the same page. In these situations,
you can link to an anchor, which is a marked location other than the top
of a page. Anchors are often used to help navigate through long pages. For
example, a table of contents or a navigation bar at the top of the page
can be a list of topics that are linked directly to anchors attached to
headings throughout the page.
To create an anchor:
Save your page with an.htm or.html suffix.
Open the page where you want to create an anchor. If necessary, scroll
to the part of the page where you want the new anchor.
Drag the page icon down to the location where you want the anchor to
be.
To link to an existing anchor beyond the
edge of the page:
Select text or an image, and then choose Edit > Copy.
Scroll the page to the anchor you want. If the anchor is not visible,
choose Edit > Show Invisibles.
Click next to the anchor, and then choose Edit > Paste.
Select the object you just pasted, and then drag the anchor onto it.
Choose Edit > Cut.
Scroll the page to the original object you wanted to link.
Select the original object, and then choose Edit > Paste.
To link to an invisible anchor:
Open the page where you want to create an anchor. If necessary, scroll
to the part of the page where you want the new anchor.
Drag the page icon down to the location where you want the anchor to
be.
Choose Edit>Insert Invisible>Anchor.
To link to an anchor from a different page:
Select the text that will lead to the anchor.
Open the page containing the anchor.
Drag the anchor icon and drop it onto the selected text on the first
page.
To link to an anchor from the same page:
Select the text that will lead to the anchor.
Scroll to the anchor.
Drag the anchor icon and drop it onto the selected text. If the selected
text is beyond the edge of the page, drag within the last line of text
at the edge of the page (not beyond the edge). The page will scroll automatically.
Tip
| Use the Pasteboard to store anchors that you
use often, or to hold an anchor while you scroll to an area beyond the edge
of the page. |
