How do I link to a bookmarked part of a different page in frontpa.

I followed the instructions to the letter and can only go to the new page,
but not the bookmarked place on the page. How can I do this?
 
Generally speaking, if you want to link to a bookmark, you would type
in the pages name followed by #nameofbookmark. So, if I had a page
named "page.htm" with a bookmark named "bookmark", my link would look
like this:

<a href="page.htm#bookmark">

Using the WSYWYG interface, you would, go to Insert--> Hyperlink. Then
in the space where it says "Address" type in page.htm#bookmark.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. That's precisely what I did. However, it takes me to the top of the
new page, and not to where the bookmark is. That's why I'm so confused...
 
Make sure your bookmark name is 8 characters or less, and contains no
special characters or spaces.
 
When you view the page normally in the browser, is the bookmarked text also viewable, if so then the
browser may not jump directly to the bookmark. You have no control over this.

So you're telling me I can link to the page, but not to the area on the page
that is of interest?
 
No, he is saying the page with the bookmark on it may be to short to jump
down to the bookmark.

Well, it works for me

I have a page named album.html

On it are many anchors
e.g.
<a id="Show1"></a>
<a id="Show2"></a>
<a id="Show3"></a>
<a id="Show4"></a>

This reference will go to "Show2"
<a href="album.html#Show2">
 
Unfortunately not. I'm coding the site with an intention of buying the
hosting and setting it up in a month or so. Thanks anyway.

How about copying and pasting some code in this NG?
 
I used the design mode, but here is some code for one of these links:
<P><STRONG>A handful of useful <a href="Philosophy.htm#Links">links</a> on
Aikido are provided at the bottom of the
Philosophy page.</STRONG></P>

Thanks
 
This is also the code for the target link:

<P><em style="font-style: normal"><strong><a name="Links"></a>The links
below may be helpful for further information:</strong></em></P>
</FONT>
 
Works perfectly fine for me. I took your code, copied and pasted it into new
pages, and tested it. It works as expected. See here:

A word of advice in general. Stick with all lower case letters for file
names and link names. Your page may work properly in your computer but, once
published, captialization mistakes will break your links. I learned this the
hard way. I only use lower case, and no spaces in my file names.

Thanks. I guess I'll have to wait for my site to be up and test it there.
Appreciate the help.
