I am trying to find out how to set up a "page marker" so that a link is clicked, it will take you to a certain part of a page and top/center on a heading or title. I'm trying to do this in HTML within DMX 2004.

Thanks
Scott

CTRL + ALT + A is the default hotkey which will insert an "Anchor" for you.

that's what it's called by the way.

so insert an anchor to take you to the top of the page
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;a name="top" id="top"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code> // writes the anchor

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;a href="#top"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code> // to use the link


so if we now wanted one for say menu1 table header it would be...

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;a name="menu1" id="menu1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code> // writes the anchor

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;a href="#menu1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code> // to use the link

you write the anchor where you want the page to 'jump' to, you call the anchor as a link as normal but using #anchorname.

you can use any name you want for the anchors, top and menu1 were examples.

Dave
