Need a bit of help please

[webado]

I have a page with many named anchors like:

<a name="item1" id="item1">Item1</a><br />

<a name="item2" id="item2">Item2</a><br />
..
..
<a name="item10" id="item10">Item10</a><br />


When I click on links to those named achors I would like something to tell the user which one it is, because if they are at the bottom of the page you can't actually see which one it is, only when there is still more that screenfull after the named anchor will it be at the top of the screen.


Any way to have it get highlighted or change color, maybe with css or javascript? No php is possible for this site.

Thanks for any tips.

I posted your question on the new forum at WSG. Lets see what kind of answers you get!

Thanks Sharron. I was trying the script mentioned but it does nothing for me as far as I can tell.

Or maybe I'm having a senior moment and I'm using my named anchors all wrong......

The best option I know is to use a list inside a div:

such as:


.listpad {
margin-left:0;
width:200px;
border-bottom:1px solid #FFF;
padding:0;
}

.listpad UL {
list-style-type:none;
text-align:left;
width:270px;
float:left;
border-width:0;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

.listpad UL LI {
width:280px;
}

.listpad UL LI A {
line-height:1em;
font-weight:400;
border-right-style:none;
letter-spacing:1px;
text-decoration:none;
voice-family:inherit;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

.listpad UL LI A:active {
color:#0c0;
}


and then use the div

<div class="listpad">
<ul>

<LI><a href="#">link1</a>
<LI><a href="#">link2</a>
<LI><a href="#">link3</a>
</ul>

</div>

Well it worked with a javascript from http://loadaveragezero.com/hnav/sitemap.php (Yellowfade.js) - not tinkering with it any more - but thanks.

Incidentally I am using a list anyway. But getting the item highlighted was another kettle of fish.

And thanks Sharron for taking up the quest on my behalf. See, you got me to sign up there too

Yes indeed.
