Question about anchor text

Hi, I have a question about anchor text.

In dreamweaver is it possible to have a anchor text link from my home page to another page on my site.

I dont know if im explaining it correctly or using the right term.
example

On my home page on the left navigation running up the side of the page I have multiple links. Lets use golf as the link im using. When someone clicks on the golf link is there anyway to have it redirect to another page from my site, where the golf descpription is half down the page. I want it to link to the exact area .

I hope I explained myself.

Thank you,

Matt

Re: Question about anchor text

Code: Select all
<a href="golfpage.html#golfsection">Visit my golfpage</a>
That should work, the golfpage.html links to the specific page, and the #golfsection tells it where on the page to go.

The golf section must be a identifier of some kind, most probably a
Code: Select all
<div="golfsection"></div>
It won't work for classes (atleast it shouldn't)

However.... i don't use dreamweaver so i can't really tell you much more...

Sorry bocaj, you got a typo - second code snippet should be;
Code: Select all
<div id="golfsection"></div>
