this is done with link inspector, external URL, plus an invisible anchor tag as per macdafydd's page

http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginning … 40502a.htm might help, but there is plenty of other information out there.

I have tried, and it does not work (at least, not in v2.2.x, don't know about 2.5.x), and I think that's where joljol2 is running into trouble.

Links to anchors within the same page work fine via link inspector "external URL".  It accepts the anchor tag as-is, does not "meddle" with it in any way:

As typed: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … before.jpg
Accepted: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … -after.jpg

But ... if you try to prepend a relative path to another page, it "meddles" with the address:
As typed: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … fore-1.jpg
Mangled: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … fter-1.jpg

Or a doc root path to another page:
As typed: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … fore-2.jpg
Mangled: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … fter-2.jpg

The only way it won't "meddle" is with absolute path:
As typed: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … before.jpg
Accepted: http://www.macalchemy.com/sandvox/ancho … -after.jpg

This works great, to points in the same page or other pages! Nice one!

All you need is an external link with #name or full url#name to link to a point on another page, where name is the anchor tag as described here http://davidneale.eu/sandvox/anchor-tags.html#par1

or you can do it the html link way

Cheers again!

Thank you so much for your continuing involvement in unraveling this.

I'll bear the on-going trauma of all this in mind as a caution to myself.

Thanks again, and to all those imposed on throughout.

As for your anchor link in the sidebar, currently, your link, "Climb one with me," points to http://www.worldshaman.org/betaTest/Pho … tch-bottom and this returns a not found error.

So, taking that URL, instead of going to a specific location (Sketch-bottom) on the page, I try to go to the page itself, using http://www.worldshaman.org/betaTest/Photo.html and also receive a not found error.

If the page can't be found, the a location on it will certainly also not be found!

After some time and investigation of your other links, I thought I'd try the page URL, but with a lower-case "p" instead of the upper-case: http://www.worldshaman.org/betaTest/photo.html

And it worked! So then I tried adding the anchor-name and that worked, too.

You must take care with URLs to get them absolutely correct.

Perhaps "mingling" could be a relevant term, instead of mangling.

Trying to get the link to work,

1st in Safari

then 2nd in view/edit on the Photo.html file seen with FileZilla

there are a variety of reported URLs that are not found; such as:

Safari can't find the file. ?
No file exists at the address
“/var/folders/hk/v1d ct0n3gv10cg10g8vrczs45s40000gn/T/fz3temp-1/photo.html/Photo.html".

<a href="“betaTest/Photo.html#Sketch-bottom">Climb one with me</a>

Note the two quotes (one plain, the other heaven knows what) after href=.

In the text under the title I entered
<span><a href=“betaTest/Photo.html#Sketch-bottom>Climb one with me</a></span>

Upon publishing the error came: The requested URL /betaTest/“betaTest/Photo.html was not found on this server.
plus the 404 code

<span><a href="column-layouts/2-columns-2.html#2col">2-column layout</a></span>

The link is a relative link and must be bang on for it to work correctly.

Hang on, I'll try the same link, using the Link Inspector, to see if it works…

No. Sandvox changes the relative link to an absolute link, but misses part of the URL. You can enter the absolute URL yourself, but then Sandvox cuts it off after so many characters, thereby breaking the link again. At the moment, then, all you can do is to use Raw HTML, I think.

I shall add something about this to the demo page when I have time.

I just wanted  way to point to the bottom of the upcoming page.

Easy as the links in the other Pagelet's titles in the Sidebar.

Thanks for the tutoring,

joljol2

The offending link is in the Sidebar, "Climb one" of  Climb one with me ...

You're linking a pagelet "Title" text to another page anchor: it will not work via the link inspector.  The link inspector will only work when the anchor is on the same page.

You'll have to use either a Raw HTML element for the link, or use method "B" as I outlined above.

The URL of the home page of the site is "http://www.worldshaman.org/betaTest/"

The offending link is in the Sidebar, "Climb one" of  Climb one with me .

Thanks,

In the othet two cases, take a screenshot (partial) of the contents of the Link Inspector for the offending link.

Confusing to I, a novice.
