HTML question

[L-A]

I want to create a link in frontpage that goes to another page, but when it reaches that page it automatically scrolls half way down the page.
What do i need to do?

One thing you can do is use a name tag to mark the point where you want the page to scroll to.

So where you want the page to automatically go to, you put

<A NAME="scroll_here">

(note: you can name it whatever you want.

Then when you link to that page, you would use
http://fulladdress of page/thispage.html#scroll_here

just put whatever the name is after the # sign.

I've used it in one of the posts here; if you want to look it's here: http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=92622

If you mouseover the "Jump to" links, you can see the URL including the #name. It will go to the portion of the page where I have indicated in code.

Doesn't seem to be working. will it still work even though the page isnt actually online and just created in Frontpage?

It just comes up with page cannot be displayed.

That I'm not sure of. I have never used Frontpage.

Although if you have the files saved to your hard drive, it should work as long as you use the full address of the file as the link. Something like

text of link

Tho this isnt the cause of your problem, I would NOT use frontpage as its TERRIBLE. I suggest using DreamWeaver if you have to use a WYSIWYG editor.

As for your problem, post your HTML code for the page thats acting up and maybe we can help a bit more (so long as the code isnt very long)(use code tags)
