Link to an Anchor

 Return to WS 5.0 Home Page

  

When you designate an object to be an anchor, the name you give the anchor is added to the Site List in the Links Gallery. Once it is in the gallery, it is ready to link onto any other object.

  Remember that the link takes your visitors to the anchor. This means that if you move the anchor, you change the place where the visitors go when then click on the link. For example, if you want to use an anchor to take the visitors back to the top of the page, make sure the anchor is not at the bottom of the page.
