[GringoBob]

using Georgia as example - we have put anchor (ga) at beginning of GA vote page in row2col1

in row1col1 we want link at designation GA to tell anchor ga in row2col to go to top of row2col1 -

http://RemoveRINOs.com/votes2.html#ga does not work

http://RemoveRINOs.com/votes2.html#garow2col1 does not work

http://RemoveRINOs.com/votes2.html#row2col1ga does not work


anyone know the fix for this please

I recommend that you start over with normal links, rather than using linked transparent images positioned over whatever it is you want linked. Your linked transparent images aren't positioned correctly in my browser.

If you want the links to open in the bottom frame, then don't use TARGET="_top". See also:

thanks for the response Darin - my linked transparent images are inserted over jpg's so I can differentiate individual components on the jpg - curious , which browser do you use ?

You just need to change text size in your browser to break it.

What JPG? Looks to me like the transparent GIFs are positioned over plain text, the AL-AK-AZ and so on. What's the point?

[GringoBob]

transparent gif's over AR AK AZ ect on jpg's and don't understand how text size has anything to do with it - please explain ?

[pandy]

Sure.

The only JPGs I find are this
and this .

don't understand how text size has anything to do with it

Just change the text size in your browser and try to click the links, especially those to the far left and far right, and you'll see.

[GringoBob]

this is row1col1 - my problem is in row2col1 where the states which are the anchor targets are on jpg's

[pandy]

Your problem is that you try to position those blank GIFs on top of the text. As Darin said, why not simply link the text? What's the point of all this? I don't see any.

[Darin McGrew]

thanks for the response Darin - my linked transparent images are inserted over jpg's so I can differentiate individual components on the jpg - curious , which browser do you use ?

I tried Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera (all on a Mac). Here's a screenshot that shows the linked positioned transparent images being misaligned relative to the text. It makes no sense to me that you'd use this approach rather than normal links.

[GringoBob]

the point is simply to have each state display at top of frame in row2col1 when called - whether I use the text or transparents in row1col1 should not be the issue

[GringoBob]

thanks for the link Darin

votes2.html is your frameset document.

The bottom frame displays votes2row2col1.html

The link http://removerinos.com/votes2row2col1.html#row2col1ga works fine. You just need to target the link to the bottom frame.

[GringoBob]

that was my original question Darin - how to do that
