| Web visitors don't want to scroll long pages--
two or three screen-lengths is best. If you can't avoid a long page, provide navigation within page,
Rule for linking to anchors is same as rule for linking to pages: FIRST create ANCHOR-
NOTE: Netscape 4.7x calls these "targets" and
labels button as such, however "Target" is term properly used for frames. Internet Explorer calls these "page bookmarks."
Target Properties window opens. Each anchor on page must have unique name; single letter or number can be anchor, but 3-6 letters helps you remember what anchor is for. (Anchor is unique only to that page; similar anchor names or numbers can be used on other pages.) Anchor/target symbol appears next to cursor. Anchor symbol only visible in Composer;
Now, set up links to anchors using bulleted list at top of page:
a with # symbol before it. Symbol tells you this is link to an anchor. a click links and see the results. Wouldn't it be easier to go back to the list at top
In anchorname field, highlight Top in list. then click Paste button on Composer toolbar. a Text with its link are pasted on page. a SUGGESTION: If navigation links on your homepage are not visible in opening window, visitors who return from subpages must re-scroll to click another link. Minimize re-scrolling, by putting anchor at link area of homepage. When you use Choose File to create homepage link on sub-page, any homepage anchors display in anchor field. Click on name of link area one to add it to link. Now that you've created a webpage, how do you get it out there on the Internet? |
