[Nfb-web] Linking to specific page sections from other pages

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Bryan and listers,

    I'm reading this as a situation in which one creates named anchors to
jump to specific sections on the same page. What I'm wanting to do is link
to a specific section from a page such as a, "Convention Round-up" page to a
section of an entirely different page such as the, "2007 Advocacy Seminar."
This page would have headers listing the beginning of the archived material
related to each session. There were two sessions of this seminar.

    The convention round-up page would include links reading this way:
2007 Advocacy Seminar, Session One, (Archive)
2007 Advocacy Seminar, Session One, (Audio)
2007 Advocacy Seminar, Session Two, (Archive)
2007 Advocacy Seminar, Session Two, (Audio)

    When the visitor selects the:
2007 Advocacy Seminar, Session One, (Archive)

    They'll be taken to the top of the page at the beginning of the archive
for Session One.

    Provided I can get the code to allow me to do this when the visitor
selects:
2007 Advocacy Seminar, Session Two, (Archive)

    ?They would land on the heading labeled, "Session Two" instead of at the
top of the page where the Session One heading appears. Again they're coming
from another page, not from a named anchor on the same page. Links to the
complete session audio would appear on both pages allowing the visitor to
launch the audio for either session from both pages. Hope this clarrifies
what I'm trying to do.

Peter,

Tell me if this makes sense:


above first paragraph:
<a name="top">Bryan's Die-cast Drag Car Collection</a>
title:
Bryan's Die-cast Drag Car Collection

first paragraph:
The tables shown below list the
Top Fuel,
link to jump to the funny car section:
<a href="diecast.htm#fc">Funny Car</a>
Funny Car,
and
Pro Stock
car's in my stable.

first section:
Top Fuel

Table with 7 columns and 33 rows
after each section content:
jump back up to the list of sections at the top:
<a href="diecast.htm#top">Back to top</a>

just above where you want to jump to:
<a name="fc">Funny Car</a>
Funny Car

Table with 7 columns and 40 rows

after each section content:
jump back up to the list of sections at the top:
<a href="diecast.htm#top">Back to top</a>

The example was to jump down past the top fuel table to the list of funny
cars and then hit the link to jump back up to the intro paragraph.
If it was confusing, check out the page at:
