Email Hyperlink with bookmark 2

[Rack Jite]

Hard to be clear when one communicator (like me) is a
dumbshit and the other communicator is a smartshit!

Imagine I want to put the text of MOBY DICK on one page.
As someone reads it and likes "chapter_3", "The Whale", I
want them to click on a link I made right behind it called
"EMAIL TO A FRIEND" which will bring up the email hyperlink,
with TO and SUBECT blank and automatically put in the body
of their email, the URL of that page AND go to the string
"chapter3".
Steve was so kind to get me through the first part with
<a
href="mailto:?subject=&body=mysite.com/mobydick.htm">email
to a friend</a>
I understand that! Wo LAA

Now I need to grasp how to get the link to go to "chapter_3"
within that page.

Ya know, this mailto is not what this is about anymore, its
about getting the URL right. To make it simple,

If I want someone to come to a certian spot on my page at a
string called "chapter_3" what is the URL?
http://mysite.com/mobydick.htm What is next?

Do I need a bookmark?
Or can I just do it with the "chapter_3" string somehow?
And isnt there a couple paramter code letters that come
directly after the .htm and before the string to make this
search? When I look at code of other pages that do this, it
seems to be in JS and CSS and all sorts of things way way
over my head.

When I was playing with bookmarks I keep seeing "A#" between
the .htm and the string. But it doesnt seem to work when I
apply that.

http://mysite.com/mobydick.htmA#chapter_3

It goes to the page but not the query string.

Make sure your bookmark is only one word and not multiple words or a sentence.
Book mark will fail.
Bookmark will work.

Then you must append the bookmark to the page name with a pound sign
htpp://websitename/pagename.htm#bookmark

As for automating the process for for making mailto:// links for all of your bookmarks, I
don't know of any process that will do it.

Thanx!! That is the simple answer I was looking for!
I suppose the way to do it is use split screen, make the
bookmark, type in the ahref, and then type in the
#bookmarkname, copy the thing, go to next, make a bookmark,
paste in the ahref, backspace the old name out and replace
with new name. A thousand times!

But thanx, I am stuck no more!
I only wish my server was so fast responding to my slq and
php questions!

Thanx again!

One more question...
As I am going to have to do this a thousand times, I want to
get it right! I think I know, but I want to make sure.

Frontpage is smart! When I edit my site here, I add a link
by clicking on the file on my hard drive. When I access a
link from home through a browser, it comes right up and has
a c:/// thing in front of it. WHen I upload the files to the
server, that all automatically changes to the
http://mysite.com/.

When I am manually typing in the ahref info for the email
link string, should I put in the link info as
http://mysite.com/mobydick.htm or mysite.com/mobydick.htm or
just mobydick.htm?

If your links are starting with C:/// that is not good.
It means you are either browsing outside of the root folder for the web,
"Or" you have not imported all of the files inside your webs "root" folder.

All of the content for your web should be inside a folder with a blue globe on it,
and the folder name should be your web name.

Sorry, I was just typing fast, yes its all in a folder under
C:///.
What I meant was Frontpage changes it all once it is FTP to
the server into HTTP://. I was wondering if it also changes
the stuff I manually type in as code, the a href code.
What goes in there I assume should have the http:// in it?
