Bookmarks

[Doug]

I am trying to hyperlink from one page to a chapter
bookmark on another page, but when i press the button i
always go to the top of the page where the bookmark is,
not to the bookmark itself. This may be a dumb question
but i am new at this.
Thanks

When you created your hyperlink did you select the name of the bookmark from
the drop down menu?

Yes, I selected the page, then bookmark, then the
bookmark from the list.

The purpose of a bookmark is to direct the browser to a portion of the page
which is determined by the location in the page of the bookmark. Typically,
the browser will scroll the window until the bookmark is at the top of the
browser window. If you put a bookmark at the top of your page, that is where
the browser will scroll to. So, am I misunderstanding you ("the top of the
page where the bookmark is"), or did you simply put the bookmark at the
wrong location?

Make sure the bookmark you select
does not contain spaces.
word as a bookmark will work.
two words as a bookmark will not,
and will default to the top of the page.

No the bookmark is down toward the bottom of the page,
but the link always takes me to the top of the page.
There is another bookmark there but they are seperate and
different.

There is a space in the page title where the bookmark is.
this the code <a href="Bluebird%20interface.htm#Rent-
Ware">

It works if the hyperlink button is on the same page as
the bookmark. just not from another page.

You need to remove all spaces from folder and file names.
