Page Jumper


This effect helps your visitors navigate through lengthy articles and cluttered pages. This can be helpful on FAQ, About Me, and even Visitor Content pages, especially if you have a lot to offer your fellow visitors.

So let's say that you do have a very, very long article on how to be a good affiliate or a webmaster, etc. You've kindly divided it into sections using different headers, but your visitors still have to scroll through a mass of text to get to it. By putting, 'top' as your 'a name', you'll easily remember which page jump goes where, like so:

<a name="top"></a>

Sound simple? Oh wait- why is the </a> there? Well, simply because that if it isn't, that mass of text will look like a big, unclickable link until the next <a name= comes. Speaking from experience. xD

Let's review your basic link structure.
<a href="URLHERE">blahblahblah</a>

Now this again, is your very basic link structure. It doesn't get any more basic than this, but I hope by using it you will better understand the technique. So onward.

Keeping in mind that the <a name= we just created a little while back is the 'target' for your page, it'll help a lot more when we get to the next part, which is making the page jump. Let's include the page jump segment in our next snippet of coding.
<a href="URLHERE#top>blahblahblah</a>

So you want to see what this link does? Mmkay...

Here's the basic structure of the page jump effect.
<a href="URLHERE#A-NAMEHERE">Go to A-NAME HERE.</a>
<br>
<br>
<a name="A-NAMEHERE"></a>
<h1>A-NAMEHERE, etc.</h1>
If you still haven't grasped the concept and would like to see a 'live-r' preview, you can visit my autobiography page and click the links at the top to get to different places on that page.

I know that this tutorial might have been confusing, and if you have any questions please do e-mail me. I'll be happy to help. :)
