How do I make links to sections of the same page?

So you've been designing your site and have figured out that a page can be as long as necessary. This is great, but it can be a pain for some of the longer pages. Help out your visitors by providing named anchors that will quickly take them to a specific section of the page. To do this within VisualSite Designer, you'll need to use the HTML tool to create two objects on the page. One box will be used for the link, while the other will be used to set the anchor.

Anchor HTML Object

The anchor box contains the line of code where you want to jump to; the name of the section. Enter the following into the Body HTML tab of the object:

<a name="something"></a>

Link HTML Object

Next, you can create a separate box for the link. Enter the link code:

<a href="#something">Your Link Text</a>

into the Body HTML tab. The something portion should match the name you gave the section above, and replace Your Link Text with whatever text you want your visitors to click.

NOTE: You must use the HTML tool for the links. The Link Window cannot jump to sections of a page within VisualSite Designer.
