Linking to a named anchor lets you link to a specific place on a page.
Linking to a named anchor requires two steps: (1) Create the anchor. (2) Link to it.
To create an anchor on a page:
- Click into the page where you want the anchor to appear.
- From the Common category on the Insert bar, click the Named Anchor button (or select Insert | Named Anchor from the menus):
- Dreamweaver will place an anchor icon in the document. (The icon will not be visible when the page is viewed in a browser.)
To link to a named anchor on the same page:
- Select text or an image.
- Click into the Link field in the Property Inspector and type the name of the anchor, preceded by the pound sign (#). The sample below links to the
heading3anchor on the same page:
