Because of the lack of placing bookmarks in VSD BUild 6, i used this work around.

* Placed a tiny html object where I want to bookmark
* give it a name: "<a name="flag"></a>"
* Direct link to that bookmark using: http://www.asaruba.com/services.html#flag

The bookmark is placed just above the label "Our services go way beyond the borders of Aruba and the Caribbean."

The link that direct to the bookmark in the label "beyond the borders of Aruba and the Caribbean" on this page: http://www.asaruba.com/aboutus.html

Still it goes to the top of the page instead of the bookmark.

What kind of stupidity i did (or did not) that it don't go to that bookmark?

On the page aboutus.html I would have inserted

<a href="services.html#flag"> beyond the borders of Aruba and the Caribbean. </a>

I found the code <a name="flag"></a> on the services.html page located up in the head section of the document, so it can't work from there. I would put in immediately in front of the sentence you want to jump to, putting one or two words of the sentence into the code bit like this:

<a name="flag">Our services go</a> or something like that.

Thanks for your input Inger.

I'm not sure it I understand you completely.

Your suggestion in VSD?

It obviously does not work the way I did it now, but I'm sure I'm very close because it did make it work before (but did not documented it)

I'm actually not using VSD myself, but I know it can be difficult to place things on a page if it's something which is invisible in a browser.

What I would suggest is, that you put the whole line

"<a name="flag">Our services go</a> way beyond the borders of Aruba and the Caribbean."

into the page as body html, and then nudge it into the right place as drag and drop afterwards.
