Linking to locations on the webpage

Rob,
The only thing I can do with the ColdFusion page is edit it with osEditor
but the page is broken. Thus the rebuilding of the page to my Publisher
site.

I think I can link the months with the items below with HTML code fragments
but I have to do it outside of the Table. The thought sounds messy, and
loose the colors. Bummer..

Hi Don,

In the 2008 row, select "JAN", insert hyperlink, and put "#JAN08" in the
address field...yes, that is all you need if you are going to an anchor on
that page. Then create your anchor using the insert html code fragment.
Paste "<A NAME="JAN08"></A>" into a code fragment, and drag the code
fragment to where you want it. Do a web page preview, click the "JAN" link
in the table, and you should jump to where you put the anchor on the page.

If you don't like the fact that the links are underlined and the standard
blue color, then use the hot spot link tool to create the link. However, I
notice from the www.osiaglnw.org/events page that they use an underline, and
I think that is an important clue to the viewer that it is indeed a
link...same for the traditional blue color.

Hi David,

I've got the links just as you say but had to create them without the aid of
a table. Couldn't get them to take in the table. I've pretty much got the
page complete and uploaded for the preliminary issue. 'Will review and
update as needed.

PS

David, I answered in haste; reread your post and went back and did the
simple hyperlinks you advised and the page is looking and functioning good.

Many thanks!

Don,

Working with tables confuses me sometimes. In Pub 2000 a table is converted
to an image, and yet the hyperlinks survive for some reason. In many other
cases, that kills the links.

I looked at the site again, and you are right in that it works with IE6.
However, it doesn't work with FF3...and I would bet IE7. If you click the
links, the page does not jump down. I think the problem is that you wrote
the anchor code incorrectly.

You wrote:
<A NAME="#nov08"></A>

This should be:
<A NAME="nov08"></A>

You don't use the # sign in the anchor.

Try making that change and see if that fixes the page.

David,

'Removed the # signs from the anchors. Links are working nicely.

Many, many thanks!
