Link that goes to a specific location on a page?

Jul 16, 2012 12:36 PM

I have a link on my website that will lead the viewer to an article in Metal Building Construction news- I was wondering if there was a way for the link to open at a specific spot in the new page? We want the link to open right to the location on the site where our building is featured. I know how to do it if the link is to a location on the same page as the link... Not sure if it's even possibile to do this. Here is the page:http://stateline7.com/final/Recognition/Recognition.html the image and link is about half way down the page under the Granite Peak Business Center.

    You would create an anchor in the page...

     

    <a name="#anchorname">picture or whatever</a>

     

    Then link to it as normal from another page...

     

    www.yoursite.com/page.html#anchorname

    Yes.  In HTML you can use named anchors or simply add the id to your hyperlink.

     

    <div id="DivName">

    your article here....

    </div>

     

    Link in parent page:

    <a href="some_link.html#DivName">Link to article</a>

     

    However, Metal Building Construction link goes to a PDF.  So I guess I don't fully understand your question.

    To clarify, I have a link on my page that goes to an article in Metal Building Construction News. The link opens as a PDF in the web browser. My boss would like for the link (pdf) to open directly to the location in the PDF that the building is mentioned. In response to Jon- because I have no control over the PDF/webpage I don't see how I could create an anchor.

    If you need to link to a certain page in a PDF, you can do it by following the parameters given here:
