Using Anchors to Link to a Specific Location on your Page

Anchors are specific points on a page that can be jumped to by other links. for example, a common use is placing a Back to Top link on a long page that jumps back to the top of the page.

To create an anchor:

  1. Select some HTML text or a graphic item and open the Anchor dialog from the Edit menu (Command-Shift-a)
  2. Give the anchor a name, avoid non alpha-numerics and spaces
  3. Close the dialog

To link to the anchor:

  1. Select the HTML text or graphic item that will open the anchor and opend the Hyperlink dialog from the Edit menu (Command-k)
  2. Select the page the anchor is on from the list of internal pages
  3. Select the anchor from the Anchor pulldown menu
  4. Close the dialog
Note: You will need to preview in a browser to test this, links in Freeway's built-in preview cannot be followed.

Page 150 of the Freeway Reference has a more detailed description of anchors and how they can be used in Freeway.
