bookmark problems between pages

[George Kirby]

I am trying to set up hyperlinks [with bookmarks] from page "A" to page "B".
Even though there are 10 bookmarks on page "B", when I go to page "A" to set
up the hyperlinks, only 5 hyperlinks appear. This limitation does not appear
when I want to create hyperlinks [with bookmarks] from page "A" to any other
pages.

Basically I have done the following in the following order [& variations
thereof] to no avail. Remove all bookmarks from page B. Save page B. Close
page B. Shut down computer. Restart. Recreate bookmarks on page B. Save &
publish page B. Go to page A to check to see if 5 bookmark limit has
disappeared & all bookmarks visible [which hasn't happened yet]. I have tried
all the suggestions posted on how do deal with non-functioning hyperlinks &
hyperlink errors that were applicable -- to no avail.

All 10 bookmarks continue to appear in page B when I click on bookmark. They
also all work on page B as they connect to hyperlinks [a page directory] at
the top on page B.

Even if they aren't hyperlinked to the list at the top of the page, the
maximum number that show up in the list on page A is 5 when I use the Edit
Hyperlink or Insert Hyperlink popup when I'm working on page A.

My website is www.budoshin.com . If you click on the logo of the page that
appears, it will take you to my "home" page [page A]. You can click on
various hyperlinks to go directly to different pages or page sections on my
website. If you go to the Budoshin Ju-Jitsu Store [top of center column] you
will note that there are 4 categories I cannot establish links for [in
black]. Everything everywhere else works well & all the other pages link up
correctly.

I'm at a loss as to what to do-----------------

I purchased & installed MS Office Professional in August, 2005.

HELP!!

George,
This is the code for the 4 in Summary.html (I inserted some blank lines to
make it a bit clearer)

<tr>
<td><b><font face="Arial Narrow">
<a href="store.html">
<font face="Arial Narrow" color="#000000">DVDs &amp;
CDs</font></a></font></b></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><b><font face="Arial Narrow">T-Shirts &amp;
Patches/Emblems</font></b></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><b><font face="Arial Narrow">Mats</font></b></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><font face="Arial Narrow"> <b>Seminars &amp; Event
Registration</a></b></td>
</tr>

Only the first has a reference to store.html but no bookmark to go to. The
other 3 have no reference. I don't know why this occurred.

Try changing it to
<tr>
<td><b><font face="Arial Narrow">
<a href="store.html#DVDs">
<font face="Arial Narrow" color="#000000">DVDs &amp;
CDs</font></a></font></b></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><b>
<a href="store.html#Shirts">
<font face="Arial Narrow">T-Shirts &amp;
Patches/Emblems</font></b></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><b>
<a href="store.html#Mats">
<font face="Arial Narrow">Mats</font></b></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>
<a href="store.html#Registration">
<font face="Arial Narrow"> <b>Seminars &amp; Event
Registration</a></b></td>
</tr>

You can do this by entering Code or HTML view in FP and pasting the correct
code over the top of the incorrect code.

I tried Trevor L's suggestion prior to posting this. It stil doesn't work
even if i go into the html.

[George Kirby]

Clearer response to Trevor:
Whether I enter the html as <a href="store.html"> or <a
href="store.html#Shirts"> the link still only takes me to the top of the
"store" page. When I'm on the Summary page & try to set up the bookmark
gyperlink, all I can see are the first 5 bookmarks on the Store page.
However, if I go to the Store page and click on book marks, akk 9-10
bookmarks appear.

 

[George Kirby]

I'm still waking up. "akk" at the end of my last posting should read "only".
To siplify things [?] When I try to set up a bookmark hyperlink from the
Summary page to the Store page only 5 of the 9-10 bookmarks on the Store page
appear. However, if I go to the Store page ALL [9-10] of the bookmarks appear.

Thanks, George

I'll have another look when I can

Trevor-
Thank you for your help thus far. I am really stuck on this one & need any
help I can get.

[Trevor L.]

George,
My apologies for the delay in answering.

1. There is 10 hours time difference.
2. My Outlook Express store got corrupted somehow and I spent the morning
restoring it

Anyway, my suggestion now is to go to store.html and change
<a href="#DVDs"> to <a name="#DVDs">
<a href="#Shirts"> to <a name="#Shirts">
<a href="#Mats"> to <a name="#Mats">
<a href="#Registration"> to <a name="#Registration">

The link that you go to must be "name"d not "href"'d

 

[George Kirby]

Thank you for your quick and MOST HELPFUL response. I checked the "store"
page and the bookmarks were all <a name="DVDs"> . I added the "#" to all the
bookmarks on the "store" page so they'd look like <a name="#DVDs"> as you
suggested.

When I went to the "summary" page to try to create the bookmark hyperlinks
the additional bookmarks still did not appear on the "store" bookmark list.

I then manually added "#DVDs" to"store.html" in the address box of the Edit
Hyperlink screen. By using Ctrl+Click to track the hyperlink, it still took
me only to the top of the "store" page, where the bookmarks was already being
used as a hyperlink subtitle on the "store" page.

However, once I published the website, the links seem to work properly even
though they don't work for me offline [in FrontPage using Ctrl+Click and all
the bookmarks from the "store" page aren't listed when I open the Edit
Hyperlink screen and click on "bookmarks" to see all the bookmarks on the
"store" page.

It would be nice to know why this malfunction is occurring even though the
hyperlinks are now working. Any thoughts?

It's amazing what that simple "#" number sign inspired. Thank you for
providing info that led me to the solution that I obtained.

[Trevor L.]

George,
Great that you have got it working.

I read Thomas' reply but didn't understand why both pages had to be open.
The point of a hyperlink is that it *opens* the page you refer to and, when
you add the #place, at the place on the page you want.
E.G. <a href=store.html#DVDs> opens store.html then positions to the point
on store.html where <a name="#DVDs"> occurs)

Still, I have less than one year's experience with web pages and Thomas is
one of the experts. Maybe he can explain to both of us.

One thought I did have in reading your reply was"
Did you try "Preview in Browser" in FP (File menu)?

This should open the web you are working on in IE or Firefox or whatever
browser you are using. It should then replicate what happens when you
publish to the web. If it doesn't then I am also confused.

 

[George Kirby]

Trevor-
I concur with what you say. I did try using the links in "Preview in
Browser". The only links that work seem to be the ones that go to different
pages, not specific bookmarks within a page.

Something is missing in the equation here & now we're both confused. Maybe
Thomas can clear things up or at least give us some insight.

 

[Ronx]

Back to basics --
On the target page, the bookmark will resemble

<a name="bookmark">some text or image</a>

Note that there is no # character, and the bookmark should be no more
than 8 characters, with no spaces or other punctuation, _underline
character is allowed. Some browsers do not recognise bookmarks with
more than 8 characters. The name value must be unique on the page.

<a name="bookmark"></a> can also be used, but may lead to problems in
some browsers.

The link to this bookmark will be

<a href="targetpage.htm#bookmark">link text</a>

on a different page, or

<a href="#bookmark">some link text</a>

if on the same page as the bookmark.

Early versions of FrontPage (FP2000 and earlier) will not list any
bookmarks unless both the target page and the page being edited are
open.

 

[George Kirby]

Ronx-
I agree 100% with you with respect to the html code and the rest of my
wbesite links are set up in the manner you indicated -- by the "basics".

However, if you read my original post you will note that there is something
wrong in the "relationship" between my store.html page and the Summary.htm
page [the cause of which I haven't been able to discover]. If I try to set up
bookmark hyperlinks from the summary page to the store page using the basics,
only 5 of the 9 bookmarks appear when I click on "bookmark" in the "Edit
Hyperlink" screen [when I'm working in the summary page] [although if I go to
the store page & click on bookmarks all 9 are listed.]

Although I do not understand why inserting the # symbol in the html code of
the "problem" bookmarks on my store page makes the problem bookmark
hyperlinks work, they do work. Somehow the # "forces" the issue & establishes
the link although I don't understand why.

If I could set up the basic bookmark without the # I'd prefer to do it that
way as that's the "rule". However, the rule doesn't seem to be working in
just the case of these two pages. Rest of my website works fine using the
basics/rules.

Again, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

George

 

[Ronx]

Links to the bookmarks <a name="#xxx"> fail in Firefox, Netscape and
Opera, though all the bookmarks seem to work in IE.

The reason FP will not pick up the last few bookmarks is because FP
will only search as far as the </body> tag - which appears at line
3954 out of 6470 lines - check the HTML for the page and remove the
superfluous </body> and </html> tags, there also appears to be a
</html> missing from the end of the document.

[George Kirby]

Ronx-
I did as you instructed. Got rid of the one /html & one /body at 3954 & made
sure there were no more on the page. There were only the two you mentioned.
Then inserted both at the bottom of the page.

All bookmarks [removed & recreates without "#"] now appear in the bookmark
list when I go to Edit Hyperlinks in the Summary pages.

All hyperlink bookmark hyperlinks set up as they should.
All hyperlink bookmark hyperlinks look like they should.

None of the bookmark hyperlinks work! I'm always directed to the title at
the top of the page "store.html".

Now what?

Links to the bookmarks <a name="#xxx"> fail in Firefox, Netscape and
Opera, though all the bookmarks seem to work in IE.

Went online & all bookmark hyperlinks seem to work ok. However, if I'm in FP
& press CLICK+CTRL the bookmark hyperlink takes me only to the top of the

some browsers.

The link to this bookmark will be

<a href="targetpage.htm#bookmark">link text</a>

on a different page, or

<a href="#bookmark">some link text</a>

if on the same page as the bookmark.

Early versions of FrontPage (FP2000 and earlier) will not list any
bookmarks unless both the target page and the page being edited are
open.

message Trevor-
I concur with what you say. I did try using the links in "Preview in
Browser". The only links that work seem to be the ones that go to
different
pages, not specific bookmarks within a page.

Something is missing in the equation here & now we're both confused.
Maybe
Thomas can clear things up or at least give us some insight.


:

George,
Great that you have got it working.

I read Thomas' reply but didn't understand why both pages had to
be open.
The point of a hyperlink is that it *opens* the page you refer to
and, when
you add the #place, at the place on the page you want.
E.G. <a href=store.html#DVDs> opens store.html then positions to
the point
on store.html where <a name="#DVDs"> occurs)

Still, I have less than one year's experience with web pages and
Thomas is
one of the experts. Maybe he can explain to both of us.

One thought I did have in reading your reply was"
Did you try "Preview in Browser" in FP (File menu)?

This should open the web you are working on in IE or Firefox or
whatever
browser you are using. It should then replicate what happens when
you
publish to the web. If it doesn't then I am also confused.

ctrl-click to a bookmark location on another page seems to be quirky
in FP2003 - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and I am using
the same, unedited, pages.

Went online & all bookmark hyperlinks seem to work ok. However, if I'm in FP
& press CLICK+CTRL the bookmark hyperlink takes me only to the top of the
store.html page.

Any explanation?

George

Links to the bookmarks <a name="#xxx"> fail in Firefox, Netscape and
Opera, though all the bookmarks seem to work in IE.

The reason FP will not pick up the last few bookmarks is because FP
will only search as far as the </body> tag - which appears at line
3954 out of 6470 lines - check the HTML for the page and remove the
superfluous </body> and </html> tags, there also appears to be a
</html> missing from the end of the document.

Ronx-
I agree 100% with you with respect to the html code and the rest

of
my

wbesite links are set up in the manner you indicated -- by the "basics".

However, if you read my original post you will note that there

is
something

wrong in the "relationship" between my store.html page and the Summary.htm
page [the cause of which I haven't been able to discover]. If I

try
to set up

bookmark hyperlinks from the summary page to the store page

using
the basics,

only 5 of the 9 bookmarks appear when I click on "bookmark" in

the
"Edit

Hyperlink" screen [when I'm working in the summary page]

[although
if I go to

the store page & click on bookmarks all 9 are listed.]

Although I do not understand why inserting the # symbol in the

html
code of

the "problem" bookmarks on my store page makes the problem bookmark
hyperlinks work, they do work. Somehow the # "forces" the issue

&
establishes

the link although I don't understand why.

If I could set up the basic bookmark without the # I'd prefer to

do
it that

way as that's the "rule". However, the rule doesn't seem to be working in
just the case of these two pages. Rest of my website works fine using the
basics/rules.

Again, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

George

Back to basics --
On the target page, the bookmark will resemble

<a name="bookmark">some text or image</a>

Note that there is no # character, and the bookmark should be

no
more

than 8 characters, with no spaces or other punctuation, _underline
character is allowed. Some browsers do not recognise

bookmarks
with

more than 8 characters. The name value must be unique on the page.

<a name="bookmark"></a> can also be used, but may lead to

problems
in

some browsers.

The link to this bookmark will be

<a href="targetpage.htm#bookmark">link text</a>

on a different page, or

"Quirky"? MS should be ashamed. . I do thank you for the /html & /body
info as that seemed to be the key to the problem.

Now, if we could only get rid of the "quirkiness" I think both of us would
be happy.
