actually, more like the second link.
see how it starts in the middle of the page? that's what i want. but i know yours start on a lower part of the page b/c of the table of contents link. i need to do so without that. imagine if i was to click on a link to go to gotapex, and instead of starting on the top of the page, i automatically start in the middle. |

Use anchors. That's the only way.

Couple ways..
Use an anchor. An anchor is simply done like this: <a name="myanchor">Bleeat!</a> Then, link to that page with <a href="oorgle.htm#myanchor"> Another way is to link to IDs within a page. The wretched v4 browsers don't like this (NS, anyway. I'm not sure about IE4), but it's a valid way to do this since the <a name=""> tag is deprecated in newer specs. Any tag can have a unique ID, like <h3 id="sectiontitle1">Chef's House of Hot Sauce Lovin'</h3> Then, just link to it like with the anchor tag, <a href="foo.htm#sectiontitle1"> |

weird...
both links aren't working like they're supposed to... the first link is... http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...r=3#post514566 (White Elephant Gift Exchange Signup - UPDATE: Sorry! Signup is closed!) second link is.... http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/stru....html#h-12.1.1 both have that #name on the end of the html.. and the second one describes how to do it: H1>Table of Contents</H1> <P><A href="#section1">Introduction</A><BR> <A href="#section2">Some background</A><BR> <A href="#section2.1">On a more personal note</A><BR> ...the rest of the table of contents... ...the document body... <H2><A name="section1">Introduction</A></H2> ...section 1... <H2><A name="section2">Some background</A></H2> ...section 2... <H3><A name="section2.1">On a more personal note</A></H3> |
