After posing a question on my website , what I want to do is have text on a page such as; "For answer click here" - and have the person taken to a specific paragraph of text elsewhere on the website that will answer the question. -Tom

Hiya Thomas,

Although I can't answer "exactly" what you need to do since I don't know what program you are using, VSD or HTML Editor, I can tell you the basics of what you need. This would be anchor tags that you can add pretty much anywhere on your page.


First define the Answers to your questions and put that at the top of the answers or a bit above it so it's not tight at the top of the screen when they click the links.
<a name="answer1"></a>
<a name="answer2"></a>
<a name="answer2"></a>
and so on (name them whatever you want instead of answer1 etc of course)

Then go to the questions themselves and put the following type of tag to tell it to go to specific locations:

<a href="#go1">Answer1</a>

What you're doing here is giving each "answer" a name with the <a name="answer1"></a>
Then you're giving the answer a link and when you put that link in by the questions themselves you tell it which answer to go to by what name you put in the href= area.

Hope that makes sense and let me know if you need any other clarification on it. Code can be put pretty much any line in the body, and if using VSD you'll have to ask someone that uses that product how to put it where you want it in there

You can see an example of this on the page I did for my brother's band for their Bios page. Click any linked name on the left and you will see how it takes you to their bio. You should also define another set of anchors to get back to the top of the page to the questions

Thak you Jo Ann for your prompt reply.

I am rebuilding my website newenglandsharks.com from scratch, using ccvsd.
It was put up with frontpage. it's a large site with 20 or more pages ,with photos and text.

Anything can be solved using html.
I got ccvsd to avoid that, and get a wysiwyg approach.

I could get around my problem by adding on additional pages with an answer on each page and then link to the page.
So if I asked 4 questions I could have 4 additional pages with the answers. Or put all the answers on one page.

I am interpreting your answer that ccvsd can't link text from one page directly to text on another page -without me adding in html. - Tom

Hiya Thomas,

VSD has a nice HTML Tool feature so you can still implement what I posted using that. Just go the the locations on the page that I mentioned above and use the HTML Tool to input the code and it should work just fine.

This link has a page that tells you a bit more about how to do it, and also if you scroll down a bit on the page you'll see the section named HTML Links - The name Attribute and the last one also tells you how to setup links to go from one page to specific spot on another page. Hope that helps more.

Thanks Jo Ann
I will try that in the next few days.
You don't realize how much work went into a website over the years until you try to rebuild it, using another website program that you have to learn. - tom
