Bookmarking

[Guest]

I would like to know how to bookmark from one page to another page. I want
to pinpoint an item on one page from another page.

Hello,

See
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/addbook.htm

You can pass in any URL that you want the user to bookmark.

I went to that site and I have another question. Which page do you put the
bookmark script? The page going to or coming from? Next, I'm somewhat
confused. This is what I am bookmarking. One page has 10 items and the
other page has 10 items. What I want to do is: choose an item on page 1 and
when I click it, it will take me the correct item on the next page without
having to scroll down the whole page to find it.

This is a script for saving to favorites, not bookmarking

The script above allows you to Save your Site to Favorites. This isn't what
you want.

On Page Two, go to where you want the bookmark, highlight the text and
choose Insert, Bookmark and give it a name. In Code View it will look like
<a name="Test">Test</a> Do this for all bookmarks you want.

Then, on page One, create your hyperlink and choose the page with the
bookmarks and click the Bookmark button. Choose the name of the bookmark
you want the user to go to when they click the link. In Code View it will
look like this in Code View <a href="Page2.htm#Test">Go to Bookmark</a>

I did exactly as you said and it won't work for me. On page 1, when I choose
the page with the bookmarks on it and click the bookmark button, it tells me
that there are no bookmarks on that page.

Did you save the page after you created the bookmark?

Thank You! With saving the bookmarks, all of the bookmarking instructions
works!

I suppose the term "bookmarking" is interchangeable to either mean

1) The "anchor" type book mark as in <a name="yourbookmark"> and jumping to
that spot in a page like <a href="yourpage.html#yourbookmark">Click here</a>
orr

2) To mean to save the current page in your browser Favourites.

True but the context of the post was for #1

Well, I am back after trying desperately last night to get the bookmarks to
work. I did just as I was supposed to do (including saving the bookmarks)
and I can't get them to point to a specific item. It would take me to the
page and that was it. My site has been published a little, not much, but you
can see what I do have published at: www.cozyhomejewelrystore.com

I didn't see any links that were book marks, I saw a lot of links to pages that don't open / don't work.

A book mark link will show something like this in the status bar when hovered:

I do have a lot of links that are not working because I'm still working on my
site. The bookmarks that I did are on page: bath-body-baskets-pg6. The
reason for that alone is because those are the only ones that I bookmarked.
I just wanted to see if I could get them to work before I bookmarked the
whole site.

I found 2 bookmarks on that page, but no links anywhere going to them.

The bookmarks are badly formed - the name in the <anchor> tag should
never contain spaces, and for some browsers, should be restricted to 8
characters.
For example,
<a name="Item 9000296">blah blah blah</a>
would be better as
<a name="9000296">blah blah blah</a>
