I looked it up on Internet, don't see any mention of that... > If you want to link to a particular part of a page B from a link in page A, you ID an element in that part of page B and you link to it in page A in the way I exampled above. Perhaps a live example will be more helpful than my markup snippets above? Look at the link that returns you to the main article towards the bottom of <http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse/anim/page2anim.php> in particular the bit that goes: "When done, return to <a href="../page2.php#animation">main article</a>" and then look at the markup for the page it returns you to: <http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse/page2.php> in particular at the bit that goes: "<div id="animation" class="containerSpecial">" True, when you click the link at the first URL, you will probably see the URL of the page linked to as <http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse/page2.php#animation> rather than <http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse/page2.php> but they are one and the same page, the one with the # sign is just telling the browser to go to a particular part of the page, the part that has a unique ID of "animation". Finally, about not understanding the literal words of my recommendations, not that I should compare myself in any way: <http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/jokes/calf_in_mothers_milk.html> <g> -- dorayme

Easy, not quite instant, but close enough. That's what I've ended up doing. If you read and learn from the clueful ones here and elsewhere your pages will be small and light so the overhead of reloading the same duplicated code for each separate page will be low, almost certainly lower than some of the complex stuff generated by Professional Webdesigners using Dreamweaver etc. So long as you don't have masses of pages and keep as much of the presentation as possible in css, updating the pages can be done with copy and paste. If you have a LOT of pages it may be better to go for something more complex involving SSI, scripts etc. and poking different content into essentially the same page.

Quite a bit different than a few years ago. It may be that Dreamweaver simply is not up to the challenges, or that the maintainers of such sites have hired competent help. I suspect the change happened about the same time as the shift out of table based layouts. Certainly Dreamweaver breeds cluelessness where you hack away until you get the look you want. Anyhow, these days, very complex layouts can be done simply and with little extra markup. My standard template sans content is about 2K, almost nothing on broadband and it could be less. Images and linked files will stay in cache. Jeff

This is just a mock-up, in the actual page I will recommend the person doing the page to fit each "project" to the area. Deguza
