O.P. Hyperlinking to specific part of page
This may be a complete noobish question and I cannot find anything by searching the forum:

How can I link to a specific place on a webpage (i.e a particular line of text) to save someone having to scroll the page to find what I want them to see but to be presented with it immediately?

Thanks

Unless the author has placed an anchor in the page at the point you want to refer to, you're out of luck...

Making a page anchor is really simple. What you do is copy and paste this code where you want a link to another part of your page:

<a href="#codeword">whatever words you want to use</A>

To tell the link where to go, this is what you need to do. Copy and paste this code and put it where you want the link to go on your page:

<A name="codeword"></A>

You can use any code word you want.
