Linking One Part of a Page to Another

You can create different kinds of links to help users navigate through your Web site -- including links between different parts of the same page. For example, if one page in your Web site has sections of text about many different topics, you can link each section to a topic list at the top of the page.

To create a link from one part of a page to another part of the same page, follow these instructions:

  1. Open Claris Home Page, if it's not already open.
  2. Open the page in which you want to create the links.
  3. Choose Edit Page from the Window menu.
  4. Click the destination for the link (the place to which you want the link to take the user).
  5. Choose Anchor from the Insert menu.
  6. Type a name for the anchor in the dialog box, then click OK.
  7. Select the text or graphic that you want to link to the anchor.
  8. Choose Show Link Editor from the Window menu.
  9. Open the pop-up menu to the right of the URL box in the Link Editor window. (To open the pop-up menu, place your pointer on the downward-pointing triangle and press the mouse button.)
  10. In the pop-up menu, locate and choose the name of the anchor you just created. (You'll find this anchor name under the heading "Link to open file," in the submenu for the page you're now working on.)
  11. Choose Save from the File menu.
  12. Choose Preview Page from the Window menu, then click the new link to test it.
