Anchor links

Using anchors for links
An anchor is a specified location on a web page that serves as the destination of a link. Here are some guidelines to
follow when creating anchors:
• Don't place anchors directly on a layout grid. Instead, place anchors in the flow of HTML text, a layout text box,
or a table cell. When you add an anchor to a layout text box or table cell, make sure that the box or cell has other
contents. Otherwise, the anchor will not be recognized by Netscape Navigator. To work around this problem, you
can add a nonbreaking space to the empty box or cell. To add a nonbreaking space, click inside the box or cell, and
press Shift+spacebar (Windows) or Option+spacebar (Mac OS).
Place anchors near the left margin of the page, so that the anchors work more consistently across browsers.
•
Test links to anchors extensively in browsers before publishing your website. Anchors don't always work the same
•
way in all browsers.
Note: You won't be able to preview certain link and anchor combinations in Layout Preview.
