I thought I did this correctly, and as I had last night. However, the anchor entitled "Fenger Video 2006" refuses to work.

Thanks for your help.

In your anchor you had underscores between your words. In your link to your anchor you had no underscores. That's why it didn't work. While I was in there I removed the spaces and the underscores on both, and now it works. In general I don't recommend creating anchors with spaces in the name. Apparently today's browser's can handle this, but they didn't used to. And I'm not sure what other Internet devices out there (smartphones, etc.) may not handle spaces in anchor names. Probably best to just run the anchor name text together to assure compatibility. with everything.

Am I the only one out there who doesn't know what an "anchor" is or means?

Named anchors allow you to create a link on your page that links the user to a different portion of that same page. Click here for the scoop. Your page editor includes a button to create a named anchor so you don't have to create it in the code.

Do you know how I managed to get underscores? It wasn't intentional.

Is it all right to go in and run the words together as you suggest or should I do it over?

Thanks,
Carole

For consistency I'd go in and run all of the other anchors together, yes. No I have no idea how the underscores got in there, presumably they were keyed in, but if you didn't key them then I'm blaming the gremlins.

Is it possible to add an anchor on the home page and attach the anchor to text in an Announcement?

If the anchor is not possible, how can I create a link between text on the home page and text in an Announcement?
