Hi guys, I am building a site for a friend and I have an Iframe on the site, I would just like to know how to make the feature when people click the link of the news article it takes them to that page and to the news story.

I know I haven't explained this well but I don't know the actual name for the feature, sorry.

Thanks

Do you have the link to the site so we can understand a little better what you're referring to?

I have been trying to find one but I have had no such luck, I will continue hunting though.

Thanks

Can you rephrase your question in a coherent manner? You are making believe like we have the picture of the website right in front of us, and know exactly what you're talking about when you say "the link of the news article," "that page" and "the news story."

Sorry to be so vague, for example, say you were browsing through a website and there was a snippet of infomation, i.e. a news article, then at the end of that would be a link saying "more" or "full story", then one you have clicked that it scrolls you browser down and takes that news entry and puts it at the top of your page.

Is this any clearer, I couldn't manage to find a preview of this.

Thanks.

Well, I know in WordPress you can do this. Such as if you begin to type your article, and you can choose to add a "Read More..." link just after, say, a paragraph of text of the article. You can do this directly in the text editor, you use to create your posts on WordPress. Or if you are not reffering to WordPress, there is a way to do this with PHP and MySQL, I would suggest you search both PHP and or MySQL for, "read more", or "pagination", this should help you. If your still stuck, don't hesitate to post here. Good luck!

I have found an example. Clcik Here. If you click a job title at the top of the page it then takes you to that section.

By the way I'm not using Wordpress, Mysql or php, I am using dreamweaver.

Thanks

Those are called "Named Anchor links". For example the way they have it on the site you've linked to it's as follows:

[b]<a href="#JOBCAT7">[/b]ADMINISTRATION/BUSINESS SUPPORT</a>

Then at the bottom of the page you have:

<h2 class="category">[b]<a name="JOBCAT7" [/b]style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">ADMINISTRATION/BUSINESS SUPPORT</a></h2>

Hope that helps
