The first example will show you how to create a Jump to Top link from the bottom of your page. The second example will show you how to create a link which will take the user from the top of the page to another specific area on the page.
Step 1: Creating the link
- Drag and drop the HTML Code Widget onto your page where you would like your visitor to click. For this example it will be the bottom of the page.
- Enter this code in the HTML Code Widget: <a href=”#Top”>Jump to Top</a>
What this bit of code is saying is: Top is the specific place on the page I want to jump and Jump to Top is the text I want the link to display.
Step 2: Marking the Spot
- Drag and drop the HTML Code Widget onto your page where you would like the link created in Step 1 to take your visitor. For this example it is the top of the page.
- Enter this code in the HTML Code Widget: <a name=”Top”></a>
What this bit of code is saying is: Here is the place named Top and a link with this place specified needs to go here.
Keep in mind that Top and Jump to Top are arbitrary. You could create a link that would go to Centre or to a specific topic on a page called News.
Here’s another example. Say you want a user to be able to jump from the top of your page to a specific area halfway down the page which discusses News.
Step 1: Creating the link
- Drag and drop the HTML Code Widget onto your page where you would like the text to appear. For this example it will be at the top of the page.
- Enter this code in the HTML Code Widget: <a href=”#News”>Read Current News Stories</a>
What this bit of code is saying is: News is the specific place on the page I want to jump and Read Current News Stories is the text I want the link to display.
Step 2: Marking the Spot
- Drag and drop the HTML Code Widget onto your page where you would like the link created in Step 1 to take your visitor. For this example it would be wherever the News section of the document is.
- Enter this code in the HTML Code Widget: <a name=”News”></a>
What this bit of code is saying is: Here is the place named News and a link with this place specified needs to go here.
