Named Anchors Revisited

Hi All,
I have performed a search on this forum for issues with the Named Anchor
feature in DW MX4 and did not really find any clear answers to the issues which
seemed similar to mine. I just want to be able to have someone click on my
Fireworks 'TOP' button, and be brought to the top of the same web page. When I
check it in ME when I press on the TOP button, it takes me to a new page and
says it cannot display that page. Steps I am taking for named anchor are (code
also attached):

I place my cursor on the spot at the point in which I want somebody to be
taken when the TOP button is pressed
Insert > Named Anchor
Enter Top as the name for this anchor, pressed enter
Go to the bottom of the document to the TOP button that was created in
Fireworks, highlight it
Go to the property Inspector , to Link: and press and drag on the 'Point To
File' feature and drag back up to my named anchor
Ensure that #Top is featured in the Link: section of the Prop Inspect

Like usual your responses are appreciated.

Pat

Pat,

Get rid of the spaces in the image name. If you need spacing, use an
underscore or dash like this: Back_To_Top_Butt.png. Also, I'd export that
PNG from FW as a GIF or JPG, depending on what works best.

Don't know if that's causing your problem but it does need to be fixed. :-)

a href="#TOP"

TOP is probably acting like a reserved word-

try <a href="#my_top"> or any other word except top

Actually, <a href="#TOP"> should work fine. That's exactly how it's coded on
my site, except mine is in lowercase.

Thanks all for the replies on this issue. I did everything as suggested and still same problem. Any other responses to this issue would be appreciated.

<p><a href="#">top</a></p>

That's not reliable either. If having a problem with a link to the top
of the page, do not use the word "top" as the name. Some browsers treat
that as a reserved word. Make sure that there is some content in the
named anchor:

<a name="thetop">&nbsp;</a>

<a href="#thetop">Top of page</a>

If you do those, there is no reason for it not to work.

Is your anchor actually enclosing any content? Empty anchors will be
ignored by some browsers.

Try making some text your anchor. I'm not sure if you can have a "loose"
anchor like that. Try this:

<p align="center" class="style21"><a name="TOP">...a place to explore
alternative, holistic and traditional approaches</a></p>
