Add Anchor Tags & Links
Last Updated 9 years ago


Overview

This article does not apply if your website is built on the Roostersites platform.

Anchor links can be used to send users to a specific section of a page, for example a "back to top" button that when clicked, returns the user to the top of a page. This is accomplished by adding an anchor tag to a page element, then linking to that anchor from somewhere else on the page or site.

Please note that it is only possible to link to anchors on the same page, not to anchors on other pages.

Adding an Anchor

Choose an element, then open the element menu and select Set as Anchor.

Give the anchor a name. We recommend using all lowercase characters, with no spaces. Check the box if you would like to add a link to the main site navigation. Otherwise, you can create a link to this anchor separately.
