Hyperlinking to an anchor on a different page

whoknows — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:46:30 GMT

Hi,

I know how to hyperlink to an anchor on the same page. But how do hyperlink on a differnt page.

Example, I have a some summary news event on my home page and i want to link them a particular section on teh Events page.

I have set up the anchor on the Event page, put it when i go to add the link, i see theEvent page and I link to it, but i do not see the anchor to get the visitor to the exact point that they need to be on th event page. Otherwise they would start at the top of teh [page and have to scroll down to and fin dteh appropriate event.

Thanks

Hey Whoknows,

This is quite straight forward, for example if you have set up your anchor as follows on your events page;

<a name="hello" id="hello">Hello</a>

To link to it from another page you would simply use;

<a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/events.php#hello">Link Text</a>

So simply you add "#" then the anchor name after the page name in the link.

Does this make sense?
