Anchor Points

Anchor points allow you to set bookmarked points within a webpage, and jump to those points by clicking on a link.

2 Step Process

Using anchor points requires a 2 step process. You first need to set the anchor point, and then you also need to create the links to the anchor point.

1st step: Creating the anchor point

Insert the code on either side of an image or text

<a name=”anchorpoint”>Text/Image</a>

It pays to name your anchor point something relevant, when you are using multiple anchor points on one page.

2nd step: Linking to the anchor point

Insert the code on either side of an image or text

<a href=#anchorpoint>Text/Image</a>

Instead of using the "quotation marks" like you did for step 1, use a #hashtag for step 2.

Example: Im going to set an anchor point to an image.

Example: Im going to link to the anchor point from the word "using" at the top of the page. <a href=#auckland>Using</a> anchor points requires a 2 step process. You first need to set the anchor point, and then you also need to create the links to the anchor point.</span></p> Try clicking the word "using" at the top of the page.
