So I wanted to try out a new layout for a page, back in October, and I used the "jump to feature. It was a panel-by-panel cartoon strip-like thingy. you read one, then click on hte arrow pointing to the right, which has the appropriate A HREF="#" tag, and a corosponding A name= tag, but it won't jump to the side. I've used this plenty of times and it does great up and down.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it just not possible to make it go leftand right?

Do you have a link to an example page? Hard to tell if you made mistakes without seeing your handiwork.

It looks all right, and I'm fairly sure I put the right thing to each.

But of course I can't count out fudging up.

Horizontal scrolling causes problems. Browsers won't scroll horizontally when using links to anchors, they provide fewer shortcuts for scrolling horizontally than they do for scrolling vertically, your visitors will be more comfortable scrolling vertically than horizontally, etc.

But sometimes horizontal scrolling can have a purpose. tongue.gif

First, the value of name cannot start with a number.

Second, wrap the named anchor around the image itself instead of filling it with a space.
<a name="XXX"><img...></a>

Quick note -- I'm not having them scroll, I'm having them "jump" horizontally.

What's the difference?
tharpdevenport
Well, they don't have to scroll manually. Each picture on that link is intended to take up most (if not all) of the screen. they just press the "jump" and it goes right to the next.

Did you notice I gave you the solution like yesterday? rolleyes.gif
