Title: HTML/Hyperlink Question for work.
Post by: Loveshack on July 23, 2009, 12:06:19 AM
I need to know if I can, and how to, link to a specific point on a webpage that I am not the author of.  Also, the links can't be hosted by an independent service like CiteBite, they have to be hyperlinks from the target website.

Look in the source code and see if there's a anchor that you can access?

Of course you'll have to hope it's here and in the spot you want.

I thought I saw a link a long time ago that would scroll to coordinates on a webpage but I can't seem to find anything like that.

I need something a little more user friendly "Cut & Paste" than that. It's for a data entry job and I need to be able to circulate it among the employees

Anchors are user friendly. You just take the original URL and append "#<anchortag>" to the end of it (before the .html or .htm extension, if any).

The thing is, they have to be defined in the HTML for the page, or they don't work. If the page doesn't have anchor tags, you're probably SOL.
