Hello,
I want to link from an image on Home page to a "specific" image in Website.
I used the Hypelink button but I go to the "page" where the image resides. I
want the person to click the link and go directly to the "specic image". I
tried the Name Anchor tag without success. Where do I put the Anchor tag on
the image? Is there some properties in the Hyperlink function that lets me do
this? Thanks, Liz

This is a link to an image
<a href="animage.jpg">Text for the link</a>

Just use Code or HTML view and paste this code into it (replacing what is
there for the link in question). Then alter the reference in quotes to point
to the image (and the text).
 
Link directly to the image.

<a href="http://www.whatever.com/images/yoursimage.jpg">Click to open this
image</a>

You use bookmarks/anchors to like to a specific spot in a page (not used
"on" images) from another page.

eg "about.htm#Joe Bloggs" links to a page called "about" and jumps to the
anchor/bookmark called "joe bloggs".

You can't do this with images specifically.
 
Trevor,
Thank You for your reply. I don't think I made myself too clear in what I am
trying to do. I have an image on my Home Page that is a product I am selling
in my Website on another Page. I want buyers to be able to click on the
"image of the product on the home page" and go directly to "the Product" in
the website .Right now my Hyperlink goes to the Page it is located but not
specifically to "the product itself" So in other words when they click the
the "image" they go to the correct page the product is located but it is the
second product for sale on the page and they do not see it when they get to
the page because they have to scroll down. I want them to click "the image"
on the Home page and go to that same image which is on the other page for
sale with the shopping cart to purchase the item. My link now is <a
href="Page4.htm"> This only links them to the page. I want to link them to
the correct page and have them link to "the Product" that is for sale in
order to purchase it. Any way to do this? Thanks. Liz

Ahah,
Light dawns (on me).

What you need to do is to place a named anchor in the Product page and link
to this.

Say the particular product is on page "Page4.htm" like this:
Product XYZ
Blurb here about XYZ

Change it to:
<a name="xyx">Product XYZ</a>
Blurb here about XYZ

The reference should then read
<a href = "Page4.htm#xyz">

And the link will go to Product XYZ
 
Thank You your last post worked PERFECTLY!!! You're the BEST!!
