Re: Hyperlink to a different part of a page?

| Excellent stuff! Worked a dream, except that my "Top of Page" message
appears too low - it's just below the screen when you go to the question
concerned - even though there's plenty of white space above it. In fact it
appears just above the answer below. I've tried moving the html code fragment
up into the text box but it doesn't change anything in web view.
Any suggestions?

| I may not be understanding your question, but the Top and Bottom tags are
built-in to your webpage. You don't insert a special anchor at the top of
the page in order to get the link to Top to work. If you insert the code
snippet:
<A HREF="#TOP">Top of Page >></A> anywhere on the page, do a webpage
preview, and click the link, you should go automatically to the top. If that
is not what is happening please explain more or provide the URL of the page
where you are having the problems.

| Sorry, I didn't explain very well. The hyperlink works properly, i.e. when
you click on "Top of Page", the top of the page is displayed. The only
problem is that when the longest article on the page is displayed, you can't
see the "Top of Page" hyperlink below it, even though there's plenty of space
for it on the screen. To find it you have to scroll down. I would prefer the
hyperlink to sit just below the bottom of the article, otherwise people won't
know it's there.

| I think I understand what you are saying, but I am not sure of the solution.
Is your "longest article" in one text box, or do you have all your
"articles" in one text box? Though you can sometimes overlap a code fragment
box with a text box in Pub 2003, you can't do that in Pub 2000. If you are
using one long text box, then try breaking out the articles into separate
text boxes, and placing the top of page fragment right below it. Also, you
could try putting the code fragments to the side of the text box. Sometimes
things get shifted around on the page when Pub converts everything to HTML,
and you just have to try different placements and combinations until it
works. Also, don't forget to run the design checker tool, to see if perhaps
there is something else happening.
Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer.
