Some Help With An HTML Code

[StarCat]

When you read FAQ webpages, alot of times, the answers are all on the same page as the question. When you click on a question though, it links to the part of the page that the answer is on. Does anyone know the HTML code for doing that?

If you click on the IE browser menu under "View" then "Source" you can see the code for the page.

You put code in front of the answer: < a name="answer to question" >

Then the code in front of the question will be: < a href="#answer to question" >

Making sure to close your tags, of course. So a sample would look like:

< a href="#bookmarks" >How do I create a link within a page?< /a >< /p >
< a name="bookmarks">You do it with bookmarks< /a >

Make each < a name > something descriptive so you know what links to what.

edit: we must allow html in this forum. Anyway, use the code above without the spaces.

Now you got me wondering...

<a href="#link">Can I link to a different post?</a>

 

[vraiblonde]

<a name="link">Yes I can!</a>

i'm so confused lol i was wondering about that too because i have seen people post, with a link, that comes up with only one reply to a thread...if you know what i mean. I havent done html in a few years, so it will be interesting to see how my webpage turns out.

To do that, you click the post number that's at the top right of the post. It will open just that post into a new window. Then copy the URL and paste it as a link wherever you want it.

If you click that link it will take you to post #5 because I made that post a bookmark. Just testing - probably no practical use except for fun.

yeah, I understand the logic - just the language of the "command" isn't making sense to me right now. No biggie.
