Hyperlink leads to bottom of target page
|
|
|
| I have set a hyperlink at the end of some long text near the bottom of one of
my Web pages. It is meant to send my site's vistors to another page on my
site, which it does. My problem is that it sends the visitor to the bottom of
the target page instead of the top, so the visitor must scroll back up before
he sees anything on the target page. Is that how Publisher is supposed to
work? If you link from one page to another, will it take you to the same
relative position on target page that the hyperlink appears on the original
page?

| A link should always by default load top of page, unless there was a target
set. Post the URL of the page in question for review and state your version
of Publisher.

| Hi. I figured out what was going on. When you are working in Publisher,
building your site, it seems if you move from one page to the next, you DO
stay at the same relative position on the page(top to bottom). So if you go,
for example, from the bottom of a page that has a very long text box to
another page with very little on it, when you get to the target page, all you
will see is white space until you scroll up. When you navigate the site on
the Web, however, as you said in your post, when you go from one page to
another, you go to the top of the page. Good. Problem solved, but I wish
Microsoft would document this kind of stuff and not make you figure it all
out yourself. Thanks, David. LNO

| um, if you are taking about what I think you are talking about...this is by
design. It enables you to copy/paste objects across the pages accurately. It
makes sense. It's the way one typically works thru a "publication". But
perhaps you are looking at Publisher as a web design tool which it is not
instead of the DTP tool that it is.
