Usage of Anchor Points and Alphabetical Order

I am trying to set up a page with a alphabet header where each letter would take the user directly to the section of the letter selected. I was wtrying to create anchor points to do so as all the info is on the same page.

When trying to insert an anchor in a table, I am not allowed to create it. Can you confirm that is not the way to go about it ?

Thanks
Raph

RE: Usage of Anchor Points and Alphabetical Order

Raphael,

I would say that is the correct way to do it.

Why are you not allowed to create it? Are you getting an error message?

Try inserting into the code like this:
<a name="b"></a>

Then linking to it by code too, like this:
<a href="#b">Go to B</a>

See if that works.

I'm not sure why Dreamweaver wouldn't allow you to insert an anchor, unless it's a template or library item issue. Do you use either of these?

Please reply with any Dreamweaver errors you are getting so I can assist you further.

Kind regards, Rich
