Hi. Thanks for your response. I understand how to use an anchor...but how do I create an anchor within an adobe experience manager page? Im in CQ5 and there is no way (I can see) how to get into the code. Thoughts? Suggestions? Regards!

 

Hi 

I am not sure, if this is available in cq5, but RTE/TE might have anchor tag like we have since 5.3

Documentation:- https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-3/administering/configuring_rich_text_editor.html

Please have a look at this community article:- https://www.bc.edu/offices/its/projects/day/docs/adding_a_link/adding_anchors.html

I hope this might help you.

Thanks and Regards

I am not sure if I am getting your question correctly, but are you looking for partial refresh?

I do not think this is present there OOTB. You have to write extensive code in javascript to achieve this scenario. 

 

Or if you are looking to redirect to a page from another page through some link, that's straight as an arrow. Have a path field, text field in dialog and use that to render as href in your front-end code. Alternatively you could also author a link in the rich text editor.

Thanks

Hi 

Please explain the bit more on the use-case you want to achieve.

As i understood it, you can use Anchor Tags to jump to specific location on a page.

Anchor to anchor

Link:- http://help.typepad.com/anchor-tags.html

Create a Anchor tags:

<a name="anchor1"></a>

<a name="anchor2"></a>

<a href="#anchor1"><img src="http://example.typepad.com/raptors.gif" /></a>  [This is jump you to anchor1 position].

 

Anchor to DIV

<a href="#test1" id="back">Test</a> <div id="test1" onclick="window.location.hash='back'; ">

Demo:- http://jsfiddle.net/GP77J/2/

 

I hope this will help you.

Note: You can create a din/Anchor from source code of text editor component, RTE etc.

 

Thanks and Regards

As suggested in previous posts, anchor link (div id of the page) with "#" should work.

for instance <a href="my page.html#MYDIV"> HELLO </a>. When you open this link from different page, it will load "my page.html" and redirect to particular div.

I have a link from one page pointing to another page with a trailing anchor link in the URL, but it won't take the user down to the div on the new page. For example:

traintracks.html#curved

Won't take user to 

<div id="curved">

However, this same link in the stick nav works.
