Linking to a Named Anchor link in a PDF

Does anyone know if you can create a link in the Dreamweaver
editor to another page of an PDF other than page 1.
For example, something like this.
<a href="
http://www.website.com/new_site/pdf/PAGE2.pdf#RHS"
target="_blank">Page 2</a>
Or does anyone know if you can add a named anchor in a PDF
document?

Named Anchor linking from another document

I made a Named Anchor and linked from some text in another document. Great. Worked just fine. The only thing is it doesn't display the named anchor at the top of the page.
In other words the footer is at the bottom of the page and the named anchor in the middle of the page... not at the top. Like a #top would be.
Anyway to get it to the top of the page? Do I just need more content under it?
Much appreciated!

Thanks for the help. I had no luck trying it out.
If possible, at: artdesignsneed.com/joeldoctor
Under menu choice "Treatment" then choose "TFP".... the first sentence has ..."Borderline PD developed..."
I wanted to link Borderline PD to:
Menu choice: Disorders... choose Personality... go down to "Cluster B" and there's Borderline PD.
The link worked but the named anchor "Borderline PD" is in the middle of the page.
Cheers if you can help.
If not, I'm going in the right direction.
Much appreciated.

Html link to a named anchor within a PDF file?

So, I want a link on a web page to hop to a specific part of
a pdf file.
Same thing as using named anchors really. The issue I see
here is that the
web pag (link) has no real notion of pdf's implementation of
anchors, so how
could it know to utilise them?
I assume this is not possible, but need to make sure.
Thanks.

It is possible. You can link to a page in any pdf document,
or link to a 'Named Destination'

Linking to a named anchor

Can someone help me. I'm trying to link a java applet to a named anchor but I don't know how. Please help.

You can't really create a direct link to an applet because an applet is an object of a HTML document. So you really have to create a link to an HTML that contains the applet. If what you're trying to do is to dynamically load an applet onto the current document, you can try to create a <DIV> (in IE or NN6) or a <LAYER> (in NN4+), create a link like this:
Load Applet
then, write a JavaScript function named loadApplet to load the applet into the DIV or LAYER:
V.V.

Why is my named anchor link not working

Can someone please help.
I am a novice at Dreamweaver - but my website works well with almost all links working.
Situation :
The problem lies on the following page www.ozonesystems.co.uk/airunits
There are 7 links in the table which point to Named Anchors
While browsing in Internet Explorer, all links work perfectly
While in MozillaFirefox or Google Chrome, only the fist 2 links work. The remaining 5 links do not redirect me to the appropriate section (anchor) on the page. There is no error message.
Can anybody please help with this problem?
Thanks - Roy Marnewick

Hi Jon
Many thanks for your reply and comments.
I am a real novice. I used ApDiv's only because I had a problem in getting images and text to reside where I intended them to be placed - and this was the only way which I discovered would achieve the result I required. I do not want to re-invent the wheel, so I will just live with problems which may appear to those using different size text, and hope there are minimal visitors doing this!
I will visit the link which you have provided to resolve the minor errors. Thanks for the link.
It is good to hear that (hopefully) the problem is not as widespread as I thought it might be as you did not experience a problem while browsing with Firefox36 and Chrome40. I will try and clear the browser cache as suggested - do not know how - but will try and find out.
Thanks & Regards
Roy Marnewick

Preloader doesn't work with named anchor links

I have a swf with a simple preloader embedded in an html
page. Everything works fine when the link to the html page does not
include a named anchor:
http://www.danielohlsen.com/fgw_site/the_ads/the_ads_header.htm
However, the preloader in the swf does not work when the link
to the same html page includes a named anchor:
http://www.danielohlsen.com/fgw_site/the_ads/the_ads_header.htm#header_ad
The rest of the movie will still play after loading, but for
some reason not the preloader. I am on a mac using Firefox and
Safari, and they both act the same. Perhaps its a browser issue. Is
this a known issue?

Works fine here if I click that link in your above post.<br />

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />

Linking page to Named Anchor on multiple spry tabbed panels

I am a Dreamweaver (cs5) "beginner" with little HTML knowlege. I am doing a site for an artist friend with several art gallery images. I have created a separate .html page for each image from the gallery (the gallery pages are built within several tabs in a spry tabbed set). When it came time to link my image page back to the particular gallery page, it did not work, only the default panel could be linked. I found Gramps' answer to another persons question that was similar to mine, only that person was using spry collapsible panels. Gramps answer: <a name="myAnchor"></a>, then URL origin page: ourPage.html?col2=open#myAnchor, and it apparently worked. I tried this using "tabbedpanel2" which is probably wrong; at any rate.... nothing seems to work.
For my first time doing this, can anyone put this in the simplest form, using my own page, link names? I have spent several day not getting anywhere.
Spry Panel page is called: store_sheet.html
namedAnchor on this page is called: o-pg2
origin page is called: 009.html
Because I'm not very good in HTML, I usually highlight what I am going to code so that I can find where it is at in the split screen, then I edit. This is how raw my knowledge-base is at this point.
Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated. I'm several days behind because of this glitch.

On the first page, the peeling turnips image looks like this -
<p><a href="shop_originals/001.html"><img src="shop_originals/peelingturnips.jpg" width="188" height="254" alt="original"></a></p>
The next image in the row looks like this -
<p><img src="shop_originals/02.jpg" width="188" height="254" alt="original"></p>
So, just select that image and link it to the detail page, e.g.,
<p><a href="shop_originals/002.html"><img src="shop_originals/02.jpg" width="188" height="254" alt="original"></a></p>
The on that detail page, make the continue shopping link like this -
<a href="../store_sheet.html#o-002"><strong>Continue Shopping</strong></a>
Is that what you wanted?

Spry and link to named anchors

I have a page - http://jenniferyarro.com/schedule_postcardNew.htm. I want it to link to the named anchors within a tabbed Spry widget - see page http://jenniferyarro.com/schedule_detailNew.htm.
I put a named anchor inside each tabbed panel, I also tried to put the anchor on each tab. Neither one works. It appears that the anchor sees the widget as one object, therefore I am taken to the correct page, but always to the same tab (ie the one that is set as default). I was wondering if there is a way to have it link directly to the tab that I want open.

Lisa

Anchor links to accordion panels not working properly across browsers

Hi everyone,
I need some help to figure out why my anchor links to specific accordion panels on another page are not working properly across browsers.
I have a Map page which has tooltips on mouseover on the site markers. 15 of the tooltips have "Click here for information" anchor links (although only 14 are currently linked) which, in theory, would take you to the Nurseries page where the specified accordion panel would be opened with the nursery entry appearing at the top of the new browser window.
Here are the links to the Map page and Nurseries page, respectively:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/map_v6.html
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html
I've tested the anchor links on IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, and have received varying results. In most cases, the anchor links worked perfectly on two of the browsers, while on the other browsers, the correct accordion panel is opened but the nursery entry does not appear at the top of the new browser window. Anchor links using Safari and Google Chrome fared better (10 out of 14 links worked properly, and 8/14, respectively), whereas when using Firefox and IE, only 3 anchor links worked properly. The target audience for this website will be using IE and Firefox, so I would appreciate any help to figure out how to tweak the code so that the most, if not all, anchor links work properly on these two browsers in particular.
Here's an anchor link which worked perfectly in IE, GC, and Safari, but in FF, the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window.
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem
http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem [To access the anchor link on the Map page, mouseover the third green dot from the top of the map (Tooltip--Location: Mangatarem) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window in any of the 4 browsers:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to "Mindanao" at the bottom of the map and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Brgys. Amabel, Bongolanon, Imamaling, & Manobisa; Magpet; North Cotabato) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the anchor link worked properly in GC and Safari, but the entry didn't appear at the top of the browser window in IE and FF:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to the small island north and a bit west of "Mindanao" which is called "Bohol" and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Bilar; Bohol) and then click on the first "Click here for information."]
Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Named Anchors not working in Apple Mail

Hi... we have an HTML Email Newsletter. About 2 months ago the named anchors (links) from the top to different parts of the email stopped working right. For years, named anchors would simply go to the section of the email that you desired. The location of the anchor would appear at the top of the email window. Recently, the links have still worked, but Apple Mail would put the location at the bottom of the email, requiring the user to scroll down to see the content. And even more recently, now we have to double-click the link at the top to get it to work, and still incorrectly.
At first, this seemed to only not work in system 10.6. But now it's working the same way in 10.5. I am surprised a web search hasn't found anyone else with this problem. It affects not only our emails, but any email that has a link from the top of the email to any other part of the email.
Is this just a bug in Apple Mail or is there a fix? Thanks in advance!

I have exactly this same problem - anchors now move the cursor so that the desired text is just off the bottom of the message window, and one has to scroll to see it.
This is obviously an error - it is inconsistent with all web / anchor behavior I am familiar with.
What's going on?????

Handeling named anchors

Hi
I'm trying to set up an news page on my site. I have one main frame where I want the news articles to be displayed, "News". Linked to the frame New is a html page where I write the articles month by month.
In another frame "search" I have a list of months. in the htlm page linked to "search" I have made each month a link to a named anchor in the "news" page.
My site is set up with css and I have a container 790x650 px. The frames are inside this container. The background is a color defined in css.
I have two problems:
When I search in the "search" frame the entire site scroll upwards. I want the container to stay fixed against the top of my browser and the scrolling to be contained to the frame "news". I have the container centered with a 60 px top margin. Is there a function that will keep the page from scrolling? Should I set it up another way?
I can't get the months I use as links in my "search" doc to list with a normal spacing. How do I change this?
Grateful for all input,
Erik

Hi Nancy
Thank you for replying.
I'm using iframes. I hope it's not as bad. Please advice if you know of another, better solution.
My site is not up yet but you can see the page I'm referring to at www.evenemang1.se/nyheter_1.html.
Again, Thank you for helping out!

You'll need to post a URL to your page. There's no way we can help you without seeing your CSS and HTML code.
I sure hope you're not really using FRAMES or Framesets. That would be a tragedy because Frames are so awful the W3C saw fit to remove them from HTML 5 web standards.

Jump to a Named Anchor when loading an HTML doc

I have a CollapsiblePanel with a Content Link to a Named
Anchor in info.html and I thought I could use loadURL() to load the
page into the Div "thetext" but it does not work. Can Spry Jump to
a Named Anchor when it loads an HTML doc?
onClick:
Spry.Utils.updateContent('thetext',
'/information2.php#Insurance')
And I also tried:
Spry.Utils.loadURL('thetext', '/information2.php#Insurance')
The Head:
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryCollapsiblePanel.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryCollapsiblePanel.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="Spry_P1_6_10-01/includes/SpryData.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="Spry_P1_6_10-01/includes/SpryEffects.js"></script>

Sure - just make the link to the anchor:
<a
href="page.php#anchor"
onclick="popupscript('page.php#anchor');return false;">
Open my popup window</a>
Making the link attribute (href=) the same as the popup
window means that
people who are visiting your site with javascript turned off
will also
get the information from the page. The 'return false' in the
onclick
event means that the href won't fire if javascript is turned
on.

Links to id's and named anchors within a page in an iframe do not open in firefox

In order to force layout of my liquid website, I use i-frames to display content . It is all on my sight www.rdelutherie.com, and I am not displaying pages from other sights. The links to sections of pages from within the same page do not work in firefox.
I have had this problem before with named anchors, and in moving up to html5 and in making my site accessible for people with dissabilities, I started using <nav> eliments... and changed from named anchors to links to ID's like this:
In an unordered list I have these:
<pre><nowiki> <li><a href="#s1">Subject 1:</a></li>
</nowiki></pre>
They link to sections of the same page like this one:
<pre><nowiki>
<section id=s1>
<h2>Subject 1:</h2>
<p>Blah blah blaaaaah, and bla bla!</p>
</section></nowiki></pre>
Last time I researched this problem (a year or more ago), I was told that it was because of a security risk (something about being able to count views...and other peoples proprietary and copyrighted material), but the vaguely described reasoning made little to no sense to me nor many others, who can not even link to our own stuff. The Mozilla developers were rather abrupt and some were even rude in telling us to live with it, instead of trying to come up with a solution or work around, and closed the post and disallowed further posting.
The problem still persists, and although I am not a programmer, I have a real hard time believing that it is impossible for Firefox to distinguish between links contained within a document and site, from those on different sights, domains and what have you.
As far as I know, no other browsers have this problem, so if it is such a big security risk, what is to stop someone with malicious intentions, from just using M$ IE, to bring their evil plan to fruition?
In keeping with "Making the web a better place": Please address this problem, and find a solution, workaround, or at least explain why it is impossible.
Bob English

Thanks again jscher2000,
I know exactly what you mean, but I have had other page display problems with adjacent columns where one side does not display completely and seems to be conforming to the other ones height... hence the height settings and other tricks to force things to be acceptable.
I am far from understanding code, and most of the solutions, including the one in the link you posted do not have the information a novice like me would need to implement them successfully. Most of them are written for people much more advanced. Without it telling me where exactly to put the code, point to it, what I can (and should) change and remove elsewhere because of it... I am at a loss. I don't know the basics, and have tried hard to understand them, but it is not like electrical circuits, physics and other things that I can understand naturally and with ease.
I will look into it further in a few days, meanwhile I have to attend to my real work that doesn't even pay the bills completely: guitar building and repair, now that comes easy and naturally to me!

Link to named anchor in current file not working

Links to named anchors are not working at this particular site. Works with Konqueror.
Go to this web site: http://www.kusc.org/playlist/
Right below the calendar displays is a section "Playing this Hour" and below is list hours for AM and PM. You should be able to click one of the hours and page should skip down to that hour in the playlist. This doesn't work with FIREFOX 7. Has not work since FIREFOX 5 or 6 at least. Works with other browsers.
Executing FIREFOX 7.0 on openSUSE 11.4. Mouseover shows the link as an anchor with #. Although, the referenced page is not the same. But again, this works with Konqueror on Linux and IE on Windows.

Something to do with your coding. The page we opens is HTML not a PDF file. When we click on the links, it opens the PDF. I can see that destination tag along with the URL and the PDF is properly bookmarked. So check ur code.

Help!! Why are of my sitemap links not landing on their named anchors?

I've just manually completed a sitemap for my dreamweaver 8 website: http://www.ggordontowerofbabel.co.cc The first 2 pages are fine, with all the links landing just at the spot I want them to.
However, on the 3rd page, they land on the spot, but as soon as the page is fully loaded, it jumps off indiscriminately to another part of the page? This is only a problem once it is loaded onto the server for anyone to access. However, all is fine locally, where only, "MyMediaPage.htm#MyFilm" is applied to the link, but once on the server, I add the full url http://www.ggordontowerofbabel.co.cc//MyMediaPage.htm#MyFilm
Again, all is fine on the first 2 pages on the server, and I'm using the same method.
After removing code from the body tag, it helped only partially. However, now the link lands on the next named anchor instead, almost as catch-up. So, while it may briefly land on its target, it still shoots onto the previous or next one. Please help!!

Hi
Thank you for your help. Since you didn't experience the same problem, I checked the page in IE. It was fine. So, it seems that it is only a Mozilla Freezefox problem, and will need to figure out how to fix that.
I'm gratefull too for your additional information, as all constructive criticism is very welcome, so I will now change the red font colour as you suggested. If you thought it was bad then, I had just changed the font itself from TN Roman to Ariel, so think yourself lucky your eyes were spared that
I've also considered your excellent advice on running the page throught the validator. I've done that. However, reading and understanding html coding is torture for me, as simple, plain English would help me better.
Truly grateful.
