Anchors and Linking to another ConMan page
Anchors
One thing to keep in mind when using anchors, is that you want to think of the anchor as the landing place, or where you want to end up after clicking on the link.
Click on the ConMan page where you want the anchor to be and name the anchor. Do not have any spaces or special characters in the anchor name.
Highlight the text you want to link from and click on the “Earth Link” button.
In the drop down menu for Link Type, choose Link to anchor in the text.
In the drop down menu under Select an Anchor By Anchor Name choose the anchor you made previously. Then click OK.
Click the Update button for the changes to take effect.
Linking to another ConMan Page
There is a different procedure if you want to link from one ConMan page to an anchor on a different ConMan page.
Step one is the same. Create and name your anchor.
Then go to the other ConMan page where you want to link from, and create your link.
This time, instead of choosing Link to anchor in text, leave the link type as URL.
Go to the page, on the client side, that you want to link to and copy the part of the URL after the .org (ex: /contacts.cfm or /branchName/news.cfm)
Paste that link into the URL field on the Link Info window. Directly behind that link add the # symbol followed by the name of the anchor you made previously.
The entire link will look like the following: www.ymca.org/contacts.cfm#anchorName
or www.ymca.org/branchName/news.cfm#anchorName
Click OK and Update your ConMan page.
