Hi,
Thanks for any help. How do you go about linking a page so that when you click on the link it goes to a certain section of another page?

For lots of examples, Google for 'named anchors'

A quick example....

On the calling link, use

<a href="mysecondpage.html#jumptohere2">Go to Here on My Second Page</a>

In the page 'mysecondpage.htm', enter the named anchor, e.g.

<p>This is the previous text</p>
<a name="jumptohere2">This is where you will end up</a>
<p>Some subsequent text</p>

HTH,

Pete.

In the target page, place the following code where you want the link to jump to:

<a name='jumphere'></a>

Then, on the referring page, add '#somename' to your link, so that it becomes
something like this:

<a href="yourpage.html#jumphere">link text here</a>
