anchor to link to an absolute position

[RemyC]

I'm a newbie to this forum. Just installed Studio 8. Been building sites with
MS FrontPage, so bare with me. Thanks.

I want the anchor to link to an absolute position on the page. The

Your site certainly moves alot.

What absolute position are you seeking?

I want the anchor to not only go to the line, but to position exactly where the
anchor is! Adding the page width and height numbers into the anchor code, so
the page scrolls to it. I don't know how to explain it any better. Instead of
just going to the line on the page to where the word or image is I want the
page to automatically scroll to where the anchor is, so if I build a huge
page, it will indeed create that effect of "moving a lot." Like building many
pages on the same page, and having the anchor find them rather than open a new
page. The code in the museumofsex website is too complex for me to understand,
plus it's mixed in with templates, etc... there has to be a simpler way to
write in an additional line of html to the anchor position that will add that
feature and find its position on the page.

A named anchor will take you to the exact spot where that anchor is located.
For example, if you have -

<255 paragraphs of text content><a name="foo" id="foo">Whatever</a>

then a link like - <a href="#foo"> - at the top of the page, will take you
to that exact spot by scrolling the page. Is that your question?

Yes, but not exactly... It scrolls down, yes... But what I want it to do is
also scroll sideways as well... horizontally, to where the anchor is, to align
it left with the table or cell the anchor is in. So if an anchor is all the way
2000 pixels right on a 800x600 webpage, the link will also automatically scroll
the page to that position on the page (off screen) to center (or alight left)
inside the visible portion of the 800x600 window.

That's what it does when you click on the link - however, it only brings the
link to the first spot where it is onscreen. You have no further control
beyond that.

Yes, I know... and that's why I am looking for an additional line of code to
give me control horizontal as well as vertical. [url]http://www.museumofsex.com[/url] does
it, So it's doable. If you don't know how, then maybe someone else on this
forum will. Or we can both look further together. Thanks.

[RemyC]

ah, yes, OK, sorry, got it!
let me try something with this...

[RemyC]

finally got the page the way I wanted it to work...
[url]http://www.remyc.com/Carly_Champagne.html[/url]
almost, close enough...
had to go back to FP to work with bookmarks instead of anchors...
because I could figure out how to delete the underline on the linked text...
I have a big learning curve between FP and Dreamweaver...
But that's a whole other bowl of wax...
I can't even find the pencil and the eraser to insert and delete tables and
cells yet...
Maybe there isn't any... never mind... will get a book! ;)
