Using microsoft front page editor, does anyone know how to link 2 things on a page together.

Example take this page http://www.owenroe-leckpatrick.ie/Adult%20Reports%202007.htmwhere I want to be able to click on the score to read the report at the foot of the page...make sense?

Dunno about front page, but if you do this, it'll work:

Put a tag around the place you want to link to like this

<a name="report1">Porter Delivers for O'Neills </a>

and another around your link like this

Sun 13th May - <a href="http://www.owenroe-leckpatrick.ie/Adult%20Reports%202007.htm#report1">Glenelly 0-8 Owen Roe's 1-09</a>

just make sure your name e.g. report1 is identical to the bit after the hash # in your link e.g. report1 and it all should work fine.

Go down to Dregish 0-10 Owen Roes 2-10 at the bottom of the page  - highlight it and click insert bookmark and ok it.  Go to Sun 1st Apr - Dregish 0-10 Owen Roe's 2-10 highlight it - right click click hyperlink - when display box appears choose link to - Place in this document - choose your book mark and save - bobs your uncle.  ;)

When you choose hyperlink properties - a display box should appear on the far left hand side of the display box at the top should be a column link to with 4 options under it - choose place in this document.

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, well then Frames is the way to go.

Some older browsers don't support frames though.

Never ever use frames. Never. Ever.

I don't like them either, but it's the only thing I think of that he is referring to.

Hes referring to bookmarks, but its a poor way to design a website. Especially in the long run as that page will get increasingly bigger and take longer to load.

Whilst there are better ways, if it is just text, which it seems to be bookmarks should be ok for what is required.

"Anchor" tags are the way to go as wobbler said.

Here's a link which describes pretty much what he has said:

How you do this in frontpage express I'm not so sure but if you know the teminology it may help you get a menu option or whatever.

Frames are bad, avoid them if you can as some browsers don't support them. In this day and age no excuse for not having up to date IE or Firefox. Not sure if Opera supports them or not though.
