Linking within document

[Arrowhead123]

I tried linking within a document.

<a href="link.php#mark">click here</a>

...

<a href="mark"></a>

 

When I do this for a page I created called link.php, the page doesn't move at all. It doesn't go to "mark". I tried the other way, where I put only "#mark" under a href, but then it goes under mydomain.com/#mark. It seems that it doesn't quite recognize the # for in page links.

Has anyone else had this problem? How do I solve it?

 

Many Thanks,

Andrew

Has no one had this problem before??

Yes, of course. I asked the same question but received no response. Here's what I have learned. Bookmarks will not function on a page that must be refreshed because it has dynamic content. It will work with a static page, like privacy.php. I can not explain it further than that nor do I understand why it can't be done.

When you add the # symbol, it tells the code to link to the anchor that has that name. So you have to create that with

<a name="mark">Mark</a>

No, that is not correct. I have added such links to the next version of the Header Tags contribution (not released yet). Here is a variation of the code I use

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $product_info['products_id'], 'NONSSL') . '"/# ' . 'anchor' . '">' . 'anchor' ?></a></td>

The above will link to an anchor named "anchor."

Thanks for the help guys. Unfortunately, none of them have worked.

I tried using the php code you used below, but it seems that that is the exact same thing I'm doing. The only difference is that you're prepending some information about a product to the actual anchor code. In fact, I don't think the code is right because you leave a space between the # and the 'anchor', so it looks like # anchor instead of #anchor.

Any other suggestions?

Jack, do you have any examples so we can see this in action? :)
