I thought I understood the concept, but I am still having trouble. At http://jefferson.nygenweb.net/flintp.htm Melinda Russell is highlighted, and as intended the viewer can jump to her family at http://jefferson.nygenweb.net/russellp.htm#MELINDA%20RUSSELL and even to the correct page. But "Melinda" is in no way distinguished from the rest of the text on that page. Perhaps I am asking too much. Is there a way of highlighting the target, or guiding the cursor to the right place in the page, either one, to help the viewer find what he's looking for? Do I just manually color the target each time? Is there a step or a character I don't know about? Nan Dixon http://jefferson.nygenweb.net nandixon@Gisco.net

Is there a step or a >character I don't know about? Using Firefox as my default browser clicking Melinda Russell takes me to the correct place on the page to view her info. Same with IE8. If you want to distinguish her name on that page yes, you would need to apply a style or change the color of the font. That particular page also needs a title at the top of the page. <TITLE></TITLE> is empty.

So that makes it easy to see, even though it is is no way highlighted. -- Mona Houser HeritageHunt@Sandyviewinfo.net Our Family -- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monajo/ Nahausen Families – http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monajo/nah/ My Database – http://wc.rootsweb.com/~monahouser Buffalo County NEGenWeb --www.rootsweb.com/~nebuffal/

Then according to Tom and Pat, who said it worked for them, I now understand that it may be my browser at fault, that other people's work, but ours doesn't. I have yet another question. Pat Geary said "That particular page also needs a title at the top of the page. <TITLE></TITLE> is empty. OK, but for what? What is the purpose of the title? It doesn't show up on the published page. Who uses it? I fill that spot when I think of it, which isn't always.
