To create a target on a web page
A target (also called an anchor) is a location within a web page that you can move to quickly by clicking on text on the same web page. It is often used as a fast way to navigate a long web page. Click here to see an example.
- Open Netscape Composer.
- Move your cursor to the target location.
- Highlight the first word at the target location.
- Click on the "Target" button at the
top of the screen.
- A "Target Properties" box will open
up that contains the highlighted text.
- Click on the "OK" button.
- Move the cursor to the text that you want to
link to the target.
- Highlight the text that you want to include in
the link.
- Click on the "Link" button.
- Click on the target that you want to associate
with this link in the "Character Properties" box.
NOTE: The text preceded by a # sign will appear in the "Link to" box.
- Click on the "Apply" button and then the "Close" button.
