I know this has been discussed before …

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

but I can’t seem to find it.

I have been playing with links to specific items on pages. Here’s the code:

[CODE]<a href=”#Boise State Broncos Pocket Series Watch”>Boise State Broncos</a> Pocket Series Watch

<a id=”Boise State Broncos Pocket Series Watch”></a>[/CODE]

I place the link at the top of the page and the id where I want the browser to go. Everything works fine.

What I can’t figure out is how to put the link on one page and make it jump to the item on another page. I tried putting in the page url in place of “#” but all that does is take me to the page, not the item on the page.

Can this be made to work when the link is on a page different than the item? How?

Thanks.
