This page is designed to show you how to link to a specific content box on your site.  We will be making use of something called "HTML Anchors."  Simply follow this tutorial and you will learn how to create a link to a specific content box on your website.

Begin by going to the content box that you want to link to and click on the pencil.  In the Header Text area, type the following:

<a name="somename"></a>

(note: you can replace somename with any name you like.  It needs to be distinct from any other anchor that you create on that page.)

Click Save at the bottom.  This will create the anchor. 

Now that we have created the anchor, the rest is simple.  All we need to do is go to the address bar in our browser and copy the address of the page.  For example, the address of this page is:

http://www.perpetuatech.com/index.cfm/pageid/813/index.html

Now that we have this address, we can go anywhere on the site and create our link.  Go to another page (or even stay on the same page) and open a new content box.  In here, type text for a link and then highlight it and press the link button in the WYWSIWYG.  In here, click on the page location and click "other link".  Paste the address to the page followed by a # symbol and the name of the anchor you created.  For our example, this would be:

http://www.perpetuatech.com/index.cfm/pageid/813/index.html#somename

This will link you directly to another content box.  Save the content box and you now have a link to another content box on your site!  If you have any questions, please visit our technical support page.
