Linking within a page

In addition to being able to link to a different page, you can also link to a specified location, called an anchor, attached to an item on a page. When the user clicks the link, the page is automatically scrolled to the position of the item within the browser.

This is useful if you have a long document on a single page, such as a list of products organized into categories, and you want to allow the user to jump straight to the appropriate category heading in the list.

To create an anchor

An anchor symbol will be displayed to the left of the text or insertion point:

To create a hyperlink to an anchor

To specify the target for a hyperlink

Normally when the user clicks on a hyperlink the new page is displayed in the same window as the previous page.

You can also specify that the new page should open in a separate window. This is useful if you want the user to be able to get back to the previous page easily, such as after displaying a help page.

The other options are only useful in frame-based pages; see the Freeway Reference guide.

To follow a graphic hyperlink

To follow an internal text hyperlink

The current page in the Freeway document will change to the page linked to by the hyperlink.
