Using named anchors

Hi everybody,
Let's say I have a two column layout with a series of links inside the left column (sidebar). Is it recommended to use named anchors to link text in one DIV to text inside another? Can I create a menu inside the sidebar and then target text inside the mainContent DIV? I've done a few tests and it seems to work well, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this. If not, can anybody recommend a better alternative?
Thanks so much.
Kind regards,
Mark

I don't like 1 page web sites. I really think it's a missed opportunity. Search engines pay more attention to sites that are broken up into logical sections with unique page titles and plenty of relevant, keyword rich content.
index.html
     <title>XYZ Company Home Page</title>
products.html
     <title>XYZ Products</title>
services.html
     <title>XYZ Services</title>
contact.html
     <title>XYZ Contact Form</title>
testimonials.html
     <title>XYZ Testimonials</title>
etc....

Reating an HTML Table Contents using named Anchors

I have a on website:
http://www.vpea.org/Bylaws/Test/bylaws_toc.htm
a table of contents for our Association Bylaws. Just in case
I've created named anchors using titles such as article_I,
article_II, etc.
is there anyway to make when clicking on a given TOC entry
that it will go to that point perhaps highligting it, going to that
point the document?

firstly, if you have multiple rows.. you need to start each row with <tr> and end with a </tr>. You just have one in the beginning and end,which will obivously give data in one row.
out.println("<tr>");
for (int a = 0 ; a < log.length; a++) {
for (int b = 0 ; b < 4; b++){
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
out.println("<td>" + (log[a]) +"</td>");
a++;
b++;
out.println("</tr>");

Using Named Anchors with Dynamic PHP Pages

I have a web app that uses PHP to generate pages out of a
MySWL database. The links to the page look something like:
www.domain.com/display.php?id=300.
On this page I'd like to include a link to an anchor towards
the bottom with a feedback form. I have a named anchor called
"add_rating". The link I'm using is
"www.domain.com/display.php?id=300#add_rating".
This link doesn't work in any browser/OS combination I've
tried and so it must be my code. Any help?

"
http://www.domain.com/display.php#add_rating?id=300''

Animate within a symbol using "named anchors"

hi everyone,
i would like to set up navigation of 3 colored buttons (red, blue & green) that will scroll on mouse down to the corresponding large colored rectangle.
https://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJnUGhlZ2owMEhFdzhUQw
in the below link, there is a file that i was able to make the blue & green buttons work if pressed from when the page first opens in the browser.
but how to get the buttons to work if you are on "green" and want to go to "blue" or "red"?
thank you all for your help
-sharon
ps- in Muse or Flash this is called "named anchors". I'm not sure what to call it in Edge
-s

hi everyone,
i just noticed that i was missing the EA file in the link. Below is a link with the native file included: (3_buttons_3-6-13a.zip)
https://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJnUGhTVnNCSnA4SjhUQw
i also tried another approach that seems like it should work, but doesn't. Below is the link: (v6_3-buttons_3-9-13.zip)
https://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJnUGhTVnNoMldybHNUQw
i would greatly appriciate your help getting either of these 2 versions to work
thank you very much-

RE: Named anchored objects

Albert,
In my case I was using a named anchored object to get a handle to an actual
service object. My named object that I registered in the name service was
an intermediary to which I did not maintain a connection. So I have not
explicitly tested what you are asking.
However, I too was not using a hard coded reference to the SO, and fail over
and load balancing worked fine. The functions of fail over and load
balancing are not done by the service object but by the name service, proxy
and router. Since you are getting a proxy back any time you do a lookup in
the name service I would think that fail over should work with any anchored
object that is registered in the name service. When you do a RegisterObject
call you will notice that one of the arguments is the session duration,
which implies to me that fail over will be handled the same as for service
objects.
Load balancing adds another wrinkle. Load balancing is handled by a router.
You must get a proxy to the router and not a proxy to an instance of the
object that the router is doing the load balancing for. In the latter
scenario you will be bypassing the router. If you are creating, anchoring
and registering your objects dynamically you will not have a router so you
will not be able to load balance! This applies even if the objects are
instantiated within partitions that are load balanced because you will still
be getting proxies back to a particular instance of the anchored objects.
There are ways to accomplish load balancing between objects that you
register yourself. However, the best solution will vary depending on the
actual problem trying to be solved. If you would like to discuss this
further, include a little more detail about the scenario you need to
implement and I will give you what I know.
BTY what I have outlined above also applies to getting references via a
system agent.

My question about both solutions (using Nameservice and agents) is:
If I reach a remote service object using either a BindObject or an agent, do
fail-over and load-balancing work the same way as they normally do when
using a hard coded reference to the SO.

Alexander,
I can not comment on the speed difference because I never tested it.
But, I
will say that we looked at the agent solution at a client sight
before. I
will give the same warning I gave them. If you go the agent direction
you
are now using agents for a purpose that they were not intended. Even
though
it technically works, as soon as you start using a piece of

a way the developer did not intend it to be used you run the risk of
forward

originally
intended to be used to look up service / anchored object references,
it may
not work in the future because it is not likely to be given
consideration in
any future design.
As we all know, programmers are always stretching the bounds of the
tools
they use and you may have a good reason (i.e. performance). I just
wanted to
let you know the possible risk.
One final note on a limitation of using system agents to obtain
references
to anchored objects. You can not access agents across environments.
So, if
you have connected environments and need to get references to services
in
another environment for fail-over or whatever, you will not be able to
do it
with agents.
Just some thoughts!

David,
The problem with dynamic binding is that in this case you have to keep
the reference to the service object somewhere. You don't want to call
"bindObject" every time you need to use this service object, "bind" is
a
time-consuming operation, even on the same partition. Keeping
reference
could be undesirable if your object could be moved across partitions
(e.g. business object).
The alternative solution is to use agents. You can create custom
agent,
make it a subagent of an active partition agent and use it as a
placeholder for whatever service you need. "FindSubAgent" works much
faster than "bindObject", we verified that and agent is "user-visible"
by its nature.

Subject: RE: multiple named objects with the same name and interface
David,
there's a mechanism used within SCAFFOLDS that allows the
location of the 'nearest' SO when more than one is available.
It involves registering each duplicated SO under three dynamically
built
names. The names include the partition, the node or the environment
name.
When wishing to locate the nearest SO the BO builds a SO name using
its
own partition and asks the name service for that.
If there is an SO registered under that name then it must be in the
same
partition and all is well. No cross partition calls.
If not, then the BO builds the name using its node and asks the name
service for that.
This means that if there is an SO outside the BO partition but still
on
the same node then this can be used. Again, relatively 'local'.
If neither of these work then the BO has to resort to an environment
wide search.
It may be that this approach could be adapted / adopted; I like it's
ingenuity.

Sean,
First, thank you for your response. I have wondered about this fora
long time.
I looked at the documentation for ObjectLocationManager and on page
327
of the Framework Library and AppletSupport Library Guide indescribing
the BindObject method Forte says:
"The name service allows more than one anchored object (from
different
partitions) to be registered in the name service under the same
registration name. When you invoke the BindObject method with a
request
for a name that has duplicate registration entries, the BindObject
method finds an entry corresponding to an active partition, skipping
any
entries that do not. If no such active partition is found, or if the
requested name is not found in the name service registry, a
RemoteAccessException will be raised when the BindObject method is
invoked."
My question is: How did you discover that in the case of duplicate
registrations the naming service will return the local object if one
exists? This is not apparent from the documentation I have quoted.
Is
it documented elsewhere? Or did you determine it empirically?

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'

Named Anchor Hyperlink Problem

Has anyone used "named anchor hyperlinks" or bookmarks to jump from one location to another on the same page? (Portal version 9.0.4)
Go There!
...jumps to....
<a name="gothere"></a>
There's a <base href="http://hostname:port/pls/portal"> tag in the head of every portal page which screws these links up. Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Wayne

I've used this method:
in edit page mode, reach your portlet, clink on edit defaultas link on its right and as display name use
<a name="xyz">Display_name</a>
Then take the address of the page
http://servername/servlet/page?_pageid=NNN,MMM,624&_dad=portal30&_schema=portla30#XYZ
adding #xyz at the end of the link.
This is my experience, it works.

Named Anchor?

I have used named anchors before when I am trying to link
something within that page but when I have something on a different
page and want to have a link take a person to a certain spot on a
different page, it doesn't seem to be working.
Are named anchors only relevant when on the same page? And if
so, does anyone know what options there are to linking to a certain
spot on a different page? Hope my question makes sense and is
clear.
Thank you!

Just taking a guess here
try something like
<a href="page.html#namedanchor">
What I mean is put after the link path put # and then the
name of the anchor

Named Anchors and the HTML doc

Normally, when using the the default "Flash Only" setting in the HTML publish settings, you can set the dimensions to 100 x 100 percent. This will make the Flash movie fill the browser window and resize with the browser.
I'm using named anchors and am using the "Flash with Named Anchors" setting in the HTML publish settings. Everything else is the same as when I use the "Flash Only" template. However, when I publish this HTML document it is not filling the browser window correctly. Instead, the movie is being displayed as if I had set the movie size to 100 x 100 pixels instead of percent. In other words, the Flash movie is squeezed into a size of 100 x 100 pixels. Something is causing it to misinterpret percent as pixels.
I've looked at the HTML document and it correctly says width="100%" height="100%". This problem occurs in Firefox 3.6. Everything displays correctly in IE8 and Safari 5. Thank you in advance to anybody with advice or a solution.

It has nothing to do with what Dreamweaver will let you do
nor not do, it has to do with what you the panels are "told" to do
in certain situations. In this case you want to open a specific
panel, preferably based upon the anchor name that you're already
using. Take a look at the URL Utilities sample page, in particular
at the last example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/URLUtilsSample.html
This means you'd need to get the full Spry download:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html
If you wanted, you could add a query string parameter like
the above example does, but that might mean changing a lot of
links.
Or you could modify the example code above to "slice" out the
first letter of the anchor and figure out the index of the tab to
show (they use a 0 based index, so 'a' would 0 and 'z' would be 25.
Try the following:
<script type="text/javascript">

Named anchor like link in textfield

I'm trying to get links in a textfield that link to
paragraphs in that textfield. The same as you would do in html
using named anchors.
For now I've an asfunction href in the text that searches the
textfields text for a certain substring using indexOf. This gives
me a position index of that substring in the text.
Then I use a search for "\r" to get the number of lines
before the position index is reached. I then use this number of
lines value as a scroll value for the textfield. This works but
since the textfield is textwrapped I never get the correct amount
of lines, because the textfield actually has more lines than it has
"\r" linebreaks.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?

Instead of inserting an tag and style it so it looks
right. Then replace the z with a when you save it.

Target Named Anchor in a Spry Collapsible Panel from a different page

Let me start by saying I have combed this forum (and others) looking for a resolution to this. I am familiar with David Powers solution on Foundationphp.com and am using that code in project to open the collapsible panel from a separate page and it works beautifullly. The problem I have is that I want the browser to move down to a specific named anchor inside that opened collapsible panel when clicked from a different page.
Snippets of my current code here.
Below is the code that I have on an image that when clicked goes to the correct page and opens Panel1. Works Perfectly!
<a href="bamboo-species.php?col1=open#CollapsiblePanel1"><img src="images/Content/Photos/HomeScroll/blackTmbor.jpg" width="227" height="175" /></a>
Below is the link to the .js file and the script in the head of the target page
<script type="text/javascript" src="SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Grabs the values of the URL parameters for the current URL.
var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
</script>
Below is the code that I have on the target page for Panel1
<script type="text/javascript">
var CollapsiblePanel1 = new Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1", {contentIsOpen:params.col1 ? true : false},{duration: 1000});
</script>
If I have a named anchor say <a name="species1" id="species1"></a> down in the page, how do I target that named anchor from my link on the separate page. I have tried adding the #species1 to the end of the link on the link page (see below) but with no luck. I believe those were the instructions on foundationphp.com site.
<a href="bamboo-species.php?col1=open#CollapsiblePanel1#species1"><img src="images/Content/Photos/HomeScroll/blackTmbor.jpg" width="227" height="175" /></a>
I hope (and suspect) that this is an easy fix, I just do not know what it is. Any help or direction where to look is greatly appreciated.

I once had the same issue can created a small function that allows me to "jump" to a element.
function scrollTo( element ){
     var stylize = function( element){ return !+"\v1" ? element.currentStyle : document.defaultView.getComputedStyle( element , null ) },
          getPosition = function( element ){
               // based on the SpryEffect's module:
               var computedStyle, tryComputedStyle,
                    position = { x: 0, y: 0 };
                    if ( element.style.left && /px/i.test(element.style.left) ){
                         position.x = parseInt(element.style.left, 10); // without padding
                    } else {
                         computedStyle = stylize( element );
                         var tryComputedStyle = computedStyle && computedStyle.left && /px/i.test( computedStyle.left );
                         if (tryComputedStyle)
                              position.x = parseInt( computedStyle.left, 10 ); // without padding, includes css
                         if(!tryComputedStyle || position.x == 0) // otherwise we might run into problems on safari and opera (mac only)
                              position.x = element.offsetLeft;   // includes padding
                    if ( element.style.top && /px/i.test(element.style.top) )
                         position.y = parseInt( element.style.top, 10); // without padding
                    else
                         if ( !computedStyle )
                              computedStyle = stylize( element );
                    var tryComputedStyle = computedStyle && computedStyle.top && /px/i.test( computedStyle.top );
                         if ( tryComputedStyle )
                              position.y = parseInt( computedStyle.top, 10 ); // without padding, includes css
                         if( !tryComputedStyle || position.y == 0 ) // otherwise we might run into problems on safari and opera (mac only)
                              position.y = element.offsetTop;   // includes padding
               return position;
          scroll( 0, getPosition( element ).y );
So now we have a scrollTo function that accepts a pure HTML element as argument, all what is left to do is figure out if we have a hash, and if the anchor exits on the page.
( hopes this works, i wrote it without testing, but you get the general idea ):
if( window.location.hash ){
     var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1), // remove the # from the hash
     element;
     // as anchors can also be used with id attributes, check that first,
     element = document.getElementById( hash );
     // maby we used name="" attribute
     if( !element && ( element = document.getElementsByName( hash )) ){
          element = element[0];
     // if we have a match:
     if( element ){
          // give the collapsible panel some time to init and update the DOM;
          setTimeout(function(){ scrollTo( element ) },0);
\o/

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.

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!

Named Anchored Obj-Environment Failover

Hi to all,
We connect from EnvA to EnvB giving the user directory parameter as / and
set the Environment Search Path
as EnvA:EnvB. From both environments we start and register
'/glob/obj1' named anchored objects with the same name.
From a client we connect to EnvA and bind to'/glob/obj1' when we shutdown EnvA partition it fails-over to
EnvB. And then we restart EnvA partition. We restart/rebind the client and
try to use object. We see that it is using the EnvB object.
Although we started the primary environment object again.
It is not using the search path. Once we shutdown secondary environment
it starts using primary environment object.
When we try to use relative path when we are binding the object
First parameter ('glob/obj1') No first slash. Trying 3rd parameter
for bind function or just using environment search path, Is is not able to
find the object. From nsls command I figured out that
under the root directory
/forte/UUID of ENVA/node
/site
/UUID of ENVB
/glob/obj1
names are available. When we use relative path (without slash)
is it trying to find /glob/obj1 under the /forte/UUID of ENVA
but we are registering the name under the root.
What is the reason of this odd behaviour or is this a bug?
Any answer will be appreciated,

Hi Juliesmiley,
According to your description, I recommend you check the conditions required for an automatic failover.
• Primary replica and secondary replica are both configured for syschronous-commit mode and set to AUTOMATIC failover.
• All availability databases that are defined in the availability group must be in a SYNCHRONIZED state between the primary replica and the secondary replica.
• The Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) cluster has quorum.
• The primary replica has become unavailable.
For more information, please review the following articles.

Lydia Zhang

RE: (forte-users) Named Anchored Obj-EnvironmentFailover

I did some playing around with this stuff as well. I can tell you a few
things.
1) The search path option of connected environments only works for SO's, not
for named anchors.
2) When EnvA creates a directory "/glob", which contains object "obj1", then
EnvA owns directory "/glob". Even after restarting environments. If EnvB
tries to add a subdirectory to "/glob" or inserts its own objects into this
path, then the situation becomes unstable. It doesn't immediately produce an
error, but things go wrong anyway. Is this a bug or expected behaviour? I
don't know. I just learned not to do this. Every environment must place it's
named anchors in it's own tree. Directories can't be shared.
3) I think the relative name "glob/obj1" should work, but only if you set
the ObjectLocationMgr to start looking at the root. Default, it will start
looking in it's own environment basepath. But I don't have any experience
with this.

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.
