Bruzer,

I find it totally amazing the amount of knowledge that is shared every day here in these forums. I am thinking I could spend all day reading these messages, follow links to wonderful information, and never run out of things to learn.

We all earn by sharing.

William,

No, it won't skip over the folder. When the browser follows a link it's going to go exactly where the URL says to go. My point was you're not going to be able to create a web site with the sub-folders in it in the first place, because VSD can't do it. If you made the site in some other way, and it had sub-folders in it that you had to link to, you would have to put the whole URL in the link, sub-folders and all. But, again, I wouldn't worry about sub-folders right now, you most likely won't be using them unless you switch to something besides VSD.

As to anchors within a page, I'll explain if you like. The following bit of HTML code displays a line of text as "header style 1", but also defines it as an anchor named "go_here."

<a name="go_here"><h1>This is my Header 1</h1></a>


All the person browsing the page is going to see is the "This is my Header 1" displayed in a larger-than-usual font, but the web browser program is going to note that anchor part and remember the location of this text.

Now, you're on another page and you want to put in a link to jump back to that text. Assuming the page that has the anchor on it is called "my_page.html," your URL to jump to that page--and that specific spot on the page--would look like this:

<a href="http://my_web_site.com/my_page.html#go_here">click this text to go there</a>


The user would see "click this text to go there" as a clickable link that, well, goes there. The link to go there probably doesn't need the "http://my_web-site.com" part so long as the page you're jumping from and the page you're jumping to are together in the same folder. In your case, using VSD, they're all going to be together in the main web site folder so you could save a little typing and just use:

<a href="my_page.html#go_here">click this text to go there</a>


Make any sense?

While looking for something else, I stumbled upon Coffeecups Knowledge Base in the wee hours this morning. In the link "Web Design", it gave a tutorial on just the most basic function of html code. I followed instructions and using "notepad", I created a page that said "this is me webpage". When I opened the page, Voila! there it was. I was all smiles.

So does it make any sense? Only a little. I at least know what your trying to tell me but could I write the code and put it in it's proper place? I doubt that very much. But now I know it can be done and when the time comes to do it I know where to come for some help in doing it.

Again, thanks very much for all your help. Your a good community!

William LeMieux,

When you decide that you want to learn how to write your own HTML code, just start and try different things. When something doesn't seem to be working properly or you just want a little direction, ask. The folks here have helped me more than you can imagine.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
