Bookmark in InfoPath?

[vb6dev2003]

Hi,

Is there any equivalent of a bookmark in InfoPath? I want to be able to
open a form and jump to a section of the doc...

Thanks

You can create the HTML for this by hand, but the functionality isn't
available through InfoPath's UI. You'll have to open up the XSL direction,
and add the anchors with #target and name="target" yourself.

Sorry,
Brian

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your response. I am confused. Le's say I do edit the xsl
file and try to add a target:
Above, let say a textbox, I want to add a target called "my target"
Do I add a line such as <#target name="my target"> using notepad?

Then, how can I jump to these targets using JS code after I recreate the xsn
form from the modified xsl file?

Is there any simple sample of this out there?

Thanks

vbdev.

Here's the example of what you'd add to the XSL...

My table of contents:
<a href="#section1">Section 1</a>
<a href="#section2">Section 2</a>
.....
<a name="section1"></a>
Section 1
....
<a name="section2"></a>
....

These are HTML anchors that let you navigate within the same page when a
user clicks.

However, you cannot use script to perform the same navigation. InfoPath
doesn't allow for view navigation with script. To get that functionality,
I'd recommend showing/hiding sections, or better yet, using multiple views
and SwitchView, which can be done from script. There are samples of
SwitchView in the help topics.
