ANCHORS  (Can't get anchors to do what I'd like)

Hi
I’m setting links to named anchors between pages of my site.  All of the anchors make up a long list which visitors scroll down and click to access a related page.
When the anchor is returned to, does anyone know how I set it to appear in the same place on the browser screen as when it was first clicked?  At the moment, the anchor appears at the top of the browser when it is returned to and not where it was originally clicked.
My code for one of the links is:
<span class="style1"><a href="../main_pages/press.html#damn">&laquo; back</a></span>
The code for its related anchor is:
<a name="damn" id="damn"></a>
(sorry if my terminology isn't that good... I'm teaching myself Dreamweaver so I'm doing my best ).
Thanks.

Links to anchors will always go to the top of the page (assuming there is enough beneath the anchor to do so). The way users go back to a previous position on a page they were viewing is to use the browser's built-in Back button/keyboard shortcuts. There is no need to create a [Back] link to try replicating what browsers have been programmed to do since the beginning of time (www time, that is).

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to charge my Iphone 4s and suddenly i can not get it to charge, what might be the problem?Brian

    Are you using a original USB cable? if not, than it could be the cable. If you are charging the iPhone with your computer, sometimes the USB port where you plugged in the cable stops working. plug it into a different USB port. 

  • I forget my security answers and i tried to rest them by sending an email but, i can't get the email. What should i do?

    I forget my security answers and i tried to rest them by sending an email but, i can't get the email. What should i do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

    If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
    Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

  • How can I get the standard Adobe CS4 sample templates, like the photo slideshow?  Thanks

    I just got Flash CS4.  I think it is supposed to have several categories of templates.  I only have the advertising category. How can I get the standard Adobe CS4 sample templates, like the photo slideshow? I cannot find anyplace on the Adobe.com site for template downloads.
    Thanks
    Mark

    I have the same question-- I don't see any template categories apart from "Advertising"-- where are they?

  • I recently downloaded new Firefox; an option was a new top of the page skin. I don't like ; can't get rid of it. what to do?

    After downloading newest firefox an option showed up: do you want one on these new skins to top your opening page? I opted for one of them and now can't get rid of it. I prefer the old . What's there now looks like a background for several toolbars. Contrast is bad.

    You can set Firefox back to using the default theme. Open the add-ons manager (in the tools menu select Add-ons), in the add-ons manager go to the Themes panel. Click on the Default theme in the list of themes then click on the "Use Theme" button.
    For more details see using themes with Firefox.

  • Can't get TouchEvent to work, what is wrong with my code?

    Hello,
    I am trying to get a touch event to trigger.  Using my Motorola Droid 2 phone, I can get a MouseEvent to trigger, but I can't get a TouchEvent to trigger that would change text on screen.
    I am using an AIR For Android Template in Flash Pro CS5.
    Here is my code:
    package  {
         import flash.display.MovieClip;
         import flash.events.TouchEvent;
         public class Document extends MovieClip {
             public function Document() {
                  stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, testing);
             public function testing(event:TouchEvent){
                  debugTestbox.text = "Hello"
    This results in nothing hapening.
    However, when I make it a MouseEvent instead, it works.
    Am I using TouchEvent wrong?  If so, what is the correct way?
    Thank you in advance.
    Edit: Nevermind, I figured something out.  I imported Multitouch and MultitouchInputMode, then set Multitouch.inputMode to MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT and then replaced TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP with TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN.  I'm gussing TOUCH_TAP is buggy because it didn't work even after making the previous changes.  Regardless, TOUCH_BEGIN works for what I need.

    Hello,
    Take a look now everything should be working you just caught us in the middle of and upgrade.

    What email app are you using: ios mail or yahoo mail app?  You could try switching your email app.
    My yahoo mail app wouldn't accept my password for my id a few days ago.  I have not sorted it out yet.  Happened after I download a new version of the yahoo app.  Waiting for a new version of the app.  Reading my mail on my laptop instead.
