Viewing Links to anchors

Links to anchors



User: Paul G. 4 years ago
Hi,
using a button in a Text section widget within a responsive row. Want to link it to an anchor on the page but the "Link" option within the Settings only allows to a page and doesn't give option to select a position. Going to the Links section of the Inspector does but this is overwritten by the info in the Settings - so it always defaults to top of page.

Have I missed something? How can I set up links to an anchor within a button in a responsive row?

Thanks

HI Paul,

For the text section don't use the link options under the Hyperlink tab.

To link to an anchor you would enter the URL of the page followed by a hashtag and then the anchor name.

If you show the page you want to link to and where on the page the anchor is (if you have more than one) I can tell you what to enter in the link window of the Text Section's Button Link option.

OK,
2nd try at responding because it logs me out before I can hit the Post reply button so I lose the response (why, why, why?):

Removed hyperlink in the Links tab. Did as you suggested. All that happens, when I click the button, is that Nav bar/banner turns into unformatted text/alt text. The headings disappear as does everything below the Resp row.

Also, when I check syntax in the "Settings" tab the whole of the above link has also disappeared and the "#Club-fixtures" has gone from the browsers' address bar

I am not quite sure I understand what you are referring to. A screenshot would help describe the issue. You can click the Advanced button when replying here and attached screenshots of what you see so I can better understand the issue.

Any URL that starts with file:// is a local reference and wouldn't be correct to use as a link. No one can access it besides you from your own computer.

You would have to publish it online and then use the link from your browser from the published website.

What do you meany by "check the syntax"

I think this is related to what I mentioned above about the file:// links being only accessible to you and not valid URLs.

Your link should be;
http://www.yourdomain.com/fixtures.html#Club-fixtures

Where yourdomain.com is replaced by your actual domain of course.
