Quick Question

[lukoot]

i can link from a main page to a sub page but can someone tell me please how do i link to a certain part of the sub page ?
say i had some words on a main page and i wanted to link them to a article in the middle of the sub page how do i link direct to that article and not just the overall sub page

thanks in advance for any replies

On target page....

<a name="target">Beginning</a> of the target article

link to target:

<a href="http://mysite.com/thepage.html#target">Go to article</a>

While <a name="target"> is the most well known way to link to targets in a page, anything specifying an id would work, such as <div id="target"> or <h1 id="target">.

I don't use <a name="target"> because my a:hover CSS gets applies, creating an unwanted hover effect over something that is not a link.

OK sorry for being so dumb but i cant seem to get it right because i keep getting a 404 error code and it takes me to some silly site i just cant figure out what I'm doing wrong i seem to get this bit right.... <a name="target">Beginning</a> of the target article
but i must be doing something wrong on this bit.... <a href="http://mysite.com/thepage.html#target">Go to article</a>
the page I'm trying to link to is index.php?p=1_5 on my site or at least thats what it says in my link list
I'm using one of the x10 templates if thats any help I'm sure its just something silly that I'm not doing

From your red text, it seems like the ?p=1_5 would be part of a PHP script rather than target links. Do you have a live website link I can use to see what you have so far?

On target page....

link to target:

<a href="http://mysite.com/thepage.html#lukoot">Go to article</a>
