Anchor links
Aug 3 2010, 12:10 AM EDT | Post edited: Aug 3 2010, 12:10 AM EDT
Does anyone know if it's possible to include anchor links on pages? I've found a discussion thread that shows me how to link to the top of the page, but I want to anchor to content within a page.

Many thanks. Do you find this valuable?

Yes, there is a way to add anchor links to a page.

chrisco97, thanks for the information. It didn't seem to work for me. Instead of linking to the page I kept getting a message asking me if I wanted to create the page with that link. Do you find this valuable?

Hi Kevin. The link for the instructions is fine, I can't get the instructions contained within the page to work. Do you find this valuable?

Not sure if this will help, but it is a slightly more dumbed down instruction:

http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Anchor+Links

For the anchor, it is best to make an invisible (-#) so that it doesn't make the page look weird.

I did a really good set on the CSI Wiki homepage: (Highlight the whole page and you can see the hidden anchors.)

Thanks for the link CaptainSpaz. Didn't know that page was there. Do you find this valuable?

Thank you edwardandbellafan, walrusworldstudios, Jivanda, and cryingdove for bringing forth this workaround to be used on Wetpaint wikis.
