Need some help with anchor tags

Named anchors are coded tags, and as such, are not visible to the visitor.

The only way to do that would be to pass information from page1 to page2 as
to which link was clicked, and then to use that information on page2 to set
the color of the cell. There would be three ways to do this -

1. Use cookies
2. Use javascript
3. Use server scripting

None of those three ways is going to be something that DW will do using a
built-in function.

The cookie approach would require that you write information into a cookie
on page1 after clicking on the link but before relocating to the linked
page. Then you'd have to check for the cookie on page2, read it, and use
the information to set the color of the cell (probably with CSS).

The javascript approach would require that you add a url variable to each
link on page1, parse the variable out on page2, and then use the same color
method used in the prior suggestion.

The server scripting approach would be identical to the javascript approach,
except that it would be done in scripting executed by the server rather than
by the client browser.

Each of those three methods would require some coding skill on your part.
