Jump down the page

[aaronjonmartin]

Hi guys,

I have a html page I am making that will contain a lot of text, I have created three navigation buttons at the top of the page each of which I want to, when clicked, jump to a specific line on the page. I have seen this done before on FAQ pages where there is a list of contents at the top of the page and you click one of the links and it displays a specific section of the page. I dont really no how to start with this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You do this using normal hyperlinks

Create and anchor in your text where you would like to jump to:

<a name=&quot;middle&quot;></a>

and then in your navigation do:

<a href=&quot;#middle&quot;></a>

if the place you want to jump to is on another page then do this:

<a name=&quot;faq.html#middle&quot;></a>

My apologies guys, after a quick scan of the forum I found the answer I was looking for. It involves using anchors. Sorry if I have wasted your time reading this post, I will ensure I view some posts before I post a problem in future.
