link from one page to a specific point on another page

Quick questions about links between pages -

I've figured out how to link between pages, and create bookmarks (anchors)
and link within a page, but I haven't figured out how to link from one page
to a specific area on another page.

I have a thumbnail that I've linked to another page displaying the larger
graphic. I want to add a "back" link that would send the user back to the
thumbnail location of the original page.

I've tried establishing an anchor on the thumbnail page and the link on the
graphic page and that didn't work - I also tried creating both the anchor and
the link on the same page, cutting and pasting the link to the graphic page
and that didn't work either.

Thanks for your help in advance!

You need to write an absolute link to the thumbnail page. Try inserting the
following on the full size image page:

<A HREF="http://yoursite.com/thumbnailpage.htm#READHERE">Back</A>

Then insert the anchor beside, or just above the thumbnail on the thumbnail
page:

<A NAME="READHERE"></A>

You can use READHERE1, READHERE2, etc. for more images and thumbnails on the
same page.
