Mid-page hyperlink

Hi,
I want to define a hyperlink from one page to sub-heading half way down
another page.

Normally when defining a link, in Properties I would enter a page name in the
Link field.

How can I specify the sub-heading in the Link definition. Do I have to do this
by writing HTML code or it is possible thru the dreamweaver application?

Thanks,
rob

Press F1 and read about named anchors.

You have to insert an anchor in the 'other page', on the point you want to link
to, and then give it a name (ex. anchor) - you can insert anchors by clicking
the anchor element from the submenu invisibles, or choose Insert > Invisible
Tags > Named Anchor. You now have an anchor in that page, and it's time to go
to the page which contains the link.
In this page, you create a link to that specific mid-piece by placing the
following:

UrlToPage.htm#anchor

I want to define a hyperlink from one page to sub-heading half way down
another page.

It's called a named anchor. The link contains the address of the target
page and a fragment identifier, separated with a #, e.g.

www.example.org/foo.html#bar

The target of this link is a named anchor called 'bar' in the page
foo.html. There are two ways to define such a named anchor:

* Using the a-element with a name-attribute (the anchor shouldn't be
empty):

<a name="bar">...</a>

* Using any other element with an id-attribute:

<h2 id="bar">...</h2>
