well the problem is i have long pages and so i need to make links and then anchors further down the page so that they can click the link at the top of the page and it takes to a section on the same page, saves them from having to scroll all the way down

so i know how to add the links via the html tool, but the links come out small and in times new roman font so is there anyway i can change the style so they fit the other links? i mean you cant use css can you? or is there a different way?

so i want to change the color, font and size of the links that i have which leads to areas on the same page, i inserted them via the html tool which is why i cant figure out how to change them, if it was links to other pages thats fine, but seeing as you can only make these links via the html tool its hard to customise them, at least it is for me, so any advice guys? thanks.

Hi James,

You can use the old school method of defining fonts: font type, font size and font color. I made an example a long time ago. Go to www.johnvanhulst.com/anchors and download the VSD design from there. You can change the html boxes containing the anchors your own way to make the font look like the way you want it.

Success, John

hi thanks for that its working great, i can change the link color size and font, but theres a small problem i have still, the header that the link goes too, i tried using the style on the header and it all works well except the font, i want it arial but for some reason it only displays times new roman for the header, i dont have any settings for headers on my page, and seeing as times new roman is like the default font.. well im not sure, but do you know how to change the header that the link leads too as well, like the font size works, the color its just the font style dont seem to be working for the header..

How are you adding the h1 tag to the code?
Try this
<a href="#anchor2" STYLE="font-size: 14pt; color: green; font-family: Arial"><h1>Goto a spot on this page</h1></a>
