You can use this feature on any control with an ID on it. So a <div id="foo" works as well as <a>.

I've having some trouble implementing this. Could someone supply some snipets of html code?

I have high hopes as I installed Telerik´s RADEDITOR. www.telerik.com/.../radeditor.aspx

That seems to be having a tool for creating anchor links - also other linking options are way better than in the native MOSS editor.

The lite-version is free for all MOSS users.

Actually after some experimentation I've found the following will work in MOSS 2007. The first few lines are the original hyperlink or the point from which to jump. The last few lines are further down on the webpage and designate the anchor.

<DIV>Jump to <A href="www.servername.com/.../SamplePage.aspx

Thanks for the info regarding the HTML hacks, especially using the id attribute in the Div tag. I had used the name attribute in a link tag, but SharePoint Wiki turned all my headings blue and underlined. Using the id attribute in the Div tag, I can preserve the formatting I orignally had.

Yep... <a id=”nameofanchor” name=”nameofanchor”></a> did not work for me,

but remove the quotes and it does.

Should be:

<a id=nameofanchor name=nameofanchor></a>

Great info. It changed sharepoint wikis status to "usable".

Thanks!

I have a question, as a total rookie.  When adding these anchors, do I include the font and align info within the tag, or do I just put it around the text that will show in the read-view.

thanks! it works! i was trying hard on sharepoint and finally came across this.. thanks once a gain fro sharing. :)

Hoooray!!!!

IT WORKS!!!

I have been trying to write an anchor and link to anchor for literally the last day - i thought it was somehow the fact that i was inept (and putting it in html wrong as i am a complete novice) but then i found this blog - you are all brilliant! thanks for sharing!

time for a well deserved cup of tea...

thanks for the tip. sharepoint wiki is now less painful but I definitely miss Confluence.

Hi, Likely the most stupid question of the year, but i have to ask...

Is there a way to get the url of a web part.

I mean i'm composing pages using several Common Editor Web Parts and i'd like to be able to provide my own hand-made TOC. Thus i need to be able to point to each and every CEWP....  the tip to insert <A name=""> works fine (while we may expect something more sophisticated).

BUT as soon as i use some other web parts (e.g. Links) this trick doesn't work anymore....

Any idea how to "point to a web part"?  

Thanks !

Hi, now I am a complete newcomer to SharePoint and this is my first time doing anything but reading a wiki site. I was wondering, is it possible to integrate a search facility into my wiki site?

I'm using that tool and unfortunately it does not work.  When you try to reference the bookmark it refers to the edit mode of the wiki page.  You can work around that by relative referencing I guess, but then you're back to editing the HTML again.

Div tag did not work for me I used SPAN tag and it works!!

example:

....<SPAN STYLE="color:#000000"> Anchor text to appear in this color</SPAN>........

I hope this would help some one some day like me!!!

How to create a named anchor. i.e. How to create an anchor that targets a specific location on a page.

the starting link should look like this:

<a href="#id_of_target_element">Click here to visit the target element</a>

the target/destination element should look like this:

<h3 id="id_of_target_element">You have arrived at the target elment</h3>

another example:

<p>Check out the following topics about bees:</p>

<a href="#behavior">Behavior patterns of bees</a>

<a href="#honeycomb">Masterpiece of Construction: The Honeycomb</a>

<a href="#hive">Take a look inside the Hive</a>

<h2 id="behavior">Fascinating Antics: Bee Behavior</h2>

<p>bla bla bla</p>

<h2 id="honeycomb">The Honeycomb: Nature's Masterpiece</h2>

<p>bla bla bla</p>

<h2 id="hive>A look inside of the Hive</h2>

<p>bla bla bla</p>

the value of the href="" attribute of the anchor tag, <a href="">, needs only to match the value of the id="" attribute of the target element. The target element can be anything, a heading, a paragraph, whatever. It just needs to have an id="" attribute.

Make sure that you prepend the value of anchor tag's href="" attribute with a hash mark (pound symbol) #.

this code:

<a href="#target_element">Click here to go to the target element</a>

will take you to this location:

<div id="target_element>blabla</div>

I had some problems with this and so I hope this suggestion/clarification can help someone:

I think that all information is actually presented by adamtoth (original poster). A short html snippet would have been helpfull though. I will try to give one.

Example. Make an internal link to a H2 tag:

Create the heading with an id:

<H2 id=honeycomb>The Honeycomb: Nature's Masterpiece</H2>

Create the anchor tag that refers to the H2 element

<A href="intranet/.../here%20is%20a%20link%20to%20a%20subpage.aspx

The obtain the somewhat long and unmanageable href value follow the suggestion from adamtoth (original poster) on the top the page. It is what he calls the  "root relative URL". Notice that the id of the H2 tag is appended as suggested by adam.
