Named Anchors

[ziwacky]

How do one implement a "named anchor" in coldfusion to make sort of an index for a page.

I know you need this:

<a href=&quot;#YourFirstIndex&quot;>First Index</a>

.
.
.

First Index <a name=&quot;YourFirstIndex&quot;></a>

I am using a variable, instead of 'YourFirstIndex' constant.
How do I use it in the <a href> tag without it breaking.

Thx,

Z

Is this what you need?

<cfset YourFirstIndex = &quot;index.html&quot;>
<cfoutput>
<a href=&quot;#YourFirstIndex#&quot;>First Index</a>
</cfoutput>

The only things I see you needed were an extra pound sign and the cfoutput tags.

Hope this helps,

No, that isn't. But thanks for the suggestion. What I need is bookmark different spots in the same page. Like for example, I have x numbers of books I want to display in my page. Each book has a title and description. This are being pulled from a database, so this are going to be dynamic.

At the top of my page I need a list of the book titles that when clicked will link to the spot where that book title and description is.

Since I need to use a variable in the referrer link, and this link requires a pound sign, I can't insert my variable using the two pound signs and avoid it breaking.

never mind. I just got it.

For those who may use it later,

<a href=&quot;###yourvariable#&quot;>Link me now</a>

Lol, I'm sorry, I didn't read your post carefully. You said &quot;named anchor&quot; and I read it as &quot;link&quot;
