Creating & Linking a Named Anchor: Step By Step



 

Welcome. This page is here to provide you with a step-by-step guide to creating and linking a Named Anchor (NA), but before we begin lets answer a few basic questions.


Q & A:

What is a Named Anchor? A Named Anchor is a link to different sections of a document or webpage that allows the user to "jump" to a specific area of the document without having to scroll.

How/why/when is a Named Anchor useful?

Named Anchors are useful for large documents that a user has to scroll through in order to read. They are especially handy for documents that are divided into sub-sections that a user might want to jump around in rather than read as is on the screen.
What do I need to create a Named Anchor? In order to create a Named Anchor you are going to need Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 installed on your computer as well as a document that you wish to create links inside of.
