Hello,

I am trying to do the following:
On a relatively long page, I have several bookmark links to enable the user
to jump from a certain point located higher on that page to a point further
down the page. So far so good. But once I am at the bookmarked point further
down on the page, how can I get back up to the original "jumping-off" point
(for lack of a better word)without inserting/creating another bookmark/link?

When I use the IE 7.0 back button (the left-pointing arrow), the jumping-off
point is displayed for a very brief moment (1 sec or so), and then it
switches to show me the very top of the page again.

Is there a way for example to tell Frontpage to make the IE back button go
back to the jumping-off point rather than the top of the page. I do believe
that I have been to websites that do exactly that, but I am not a very
proficient web designer at all, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance!

I can't think of a way to do this.

So - what would you suggest instead, i.e. is there a halfway elegant way to
do this in a different way? Thanks again!

I really can't think of one. I try to build my pages to avoid things like
this! 8)

You would have to create a return bookmark to link to.

Murray & Thomas, Thanks.

Not what I had hoped for because I hoped to avoid another return bookmark,
but hey, what can you do! In any case thanks for responding! Have a good one!

So - how will you know which particular return bookmark to return to?

You would manually or via script create a return bookmark for each bookmark.

We are hampered by not knowing precisely how the page is constrained, but I
was assuming that any given named anchor could be accessed from a variety of
different start points. Maybe I was wrong in that?

Actually, you could link back to the original anchor if the bookmark is only linked to from a single
anchor.
