Having a wee problem with my anchor tag - you see I have an anchor halfway down a page which I would like to access from other pages. trying things like
Code: Select all
{anchor anchor='example#ANC' text='Example Anchor (ANC)'}
and
Code: Select all
{anchor anchor='example.html#ANC' text='Example Anchor (ANC)'}
and even
Code: Select all
{anchor anchor='http://www.mysite.com/cmsms/example.html#ANC' text='Example Anchor (ANC)'}
and I keep getting results like
"mysite.com/cmsms/page-I-was-on/#example#ANC
"mysite.com/cmsms/page-I-was-on/#example.html#ANC
"mysite.com/cmsms/page-I-was-on/#
http://www.mysite.com/cmsms/example#ANC
rather than
"mysite.com/cmsms/example#ANC
where am I going wrong? how do I get off the page?

don't use the # in an anchor.
{anchor anchor='ANC' text='Example Anchor (ANC)'}

so if I can't use the hash tag - how do I link to an anchor on a different page? see the thing is, I want to go from the page I was on to "mysite.com/cmsms/example#ANC ..
not "mysite.com/cmsms/page-I-was-on#ANC ...

first place the anchor ANC on your page example,
second place the link mysite.com/cmsms/example#ANC on the page your on.

I think thats where I was having trouble - cms_selflink doesn't like the #tag and the wysiwyg doesn't offer a way to link to anchors - so would you just put in standard html link?
eidt: so what I mean to say is - I know how to make html anchor tag links from another page I just wondered if there was a cmsms {} tag way to do it ...
and also wondered if for any reason cmsms tags in general were particularly preferable to html tags other than because they are slightly smaller....
