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

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Milton and listers,

    They open the Braille Monitor issues in new windows using the
target="blank" element. I recently began using it on the NFB of Tennessee,
and the NFB of Missouri's Site when linking to pages on remote Web sites. A
link to the Newsline information from the NFB of Missouri's Web site is one
such example. The visitor is taken to the Newsline information on our
national site, and can return to the NFBMO Site simply by closing the new
browser window with alt+f4. This is a temporary fix as Missouri urges its
blind patrons to sign up for Newsline via the Wolfner Library to speed up
subscription requests. They will need their own Newsline page to facilitate
these subscriptions and to hold Newsline information specific to Missouri.
Gary this will be fixed before the new NFBMO site goes live. Since there's
really no need to open those pages in a new window using the code from Bryan
and Lloyd should work. Thanks guys for the help.

Peter Donahue

Peter, I was thinking about maybe having each of your pages as separate
pages and that they would be pop-up windows/pages with a java script to
close the page.

You might also want to look closely at what has been done on the Braille
Monitor page(s) to see if that is something you want to do, if you
haven't done this yet.

Good afternoon everyone,

    Now is as good a time as any to ask this question. I have an archive
I'm
creating which will be added to several Web sites I'm working on over
the
next few months. It concerns a seminar I've been asked to prepare for
publishing on the Web. The seminar included an afternoon and an evening
session and a fantastic line-up of speakers. In addition to the audio
files
of individual presentations text transcripts will be produced and listed
on
an archive page for this seminar. To simplify things I want to include
the
line-ups for each session on a single archive page and want to enable
visitors to select the session they wish to view or listen to from
another
page. This is taking named anchors to the next level.

    I've visited Web sites containing a large page divided in to various
content sections. Visitors can link to a specific section on this page
from
the site's home page. In other words rather than create separate pages
for
each topic all topics are placed on a, "Master page" and visitors can
link
to a particular section from the site's home page rather than landing at
the
top of the master page.

    In my example when the, "Convention round-up" page is visited one
encounters links allowing them to access the agenda for session 1, or
session 2 on the seminar archive page. If someone wants to read or
listen to
a particular presentation given during session 2 they would select the
link
for session 2 from the round-up page. Rather than landing at the top of
the
seminar archive page they would land on the heading for session 2 from
where
they can search for the presentation of interest without having to land
at
the top of the archive page.

    Again I've seen this done on a number of Web sites I have visited,
but
need to have the code to make it happen. I would appreciate some code
samples in order to do this. Thanks in advance for help on this one.

Peter Donahue
