Linking to an anchor in your page

When you create a link to a page, the link goes to an anchor at the top of the page. You can create your own anchors and place them anywhere you want in the page. When someone clicks on a hypertext link to an anchor, the browser displays the part of the page that contains the anchor.

You can create links that jump to anchors on the same page that contains the link or that jump to anchors on other pages in your Web site.

Creating an anchor

To create an anchor in your page:

1. Position the insertion point where you want to place the anchor in your Web page.
   
2. Choose Anchor from the Insert menu, or click the Insert Anchor button on the toolbar.
   
   A dialog box appears with a default name for the anchor.

   

   

3. Type a new name for the anchor.
   
   You'll refer to this name when you create a link to the anchor.
   
4. Click OK.
   
   An anchor icon appears on your Web page.
   
5. Save your Web page.

Creating a link to the anchor

After you've created and named the anchor in your page, you can create a link to it. To create a link to an anchor:

1. Open the Web page that contains the anchor you want to link to.
   
2. Select the text or image you want to make into a link to the anchor.
   
3. Choose Link to URL from the Insert menu, or click the Link Editor button on the toolbar.
   
   The Link Editor opens.
