A common functionality for many of our client sites is in-page jump links a la an faq page (e.g. http://cmsplusdemo.com/option4.php). Generally, we set an id for each heading tag and link the questions to the id's rather than using anchors. From what I can tell, Pagelime really only supports the anchor method unless I'm missing something.
Is there an easy way for an end-user to create in-page jump links based on id's? Open to suggestions.
Hey Sandi - can you give me a link describing your method so I can take a look?
Sorry, didn't code the link properly in my first post. You can see an example of what I mean here: <a href="http://cmsplusdemo.com/option4.php">http://cmsplusdemo.com/option4.php</a> (no idea why i can't get the backticks to cooperate)
I'm currently working on a site that MUST meet WCAG 2.0 requirements - no empty links which is what named anchors generate. Would much rather have the links use id's associated with a heading tag of the related item.
Hi Sandi,
Looks like the heading IDs might not work. Can you "wrap" the inside of the headings in an anchor... kinda like so:
<h1><a name="some">hello</a></h1>
I think you might be able to do this by selecting text and then clicking the anchor tool.
P.S. Sorry for the late reply - I've been out for a few days :)
Thanks, I am reluctant to suggest the ID based method period, because IDs have a semantic meaning and can not be duplicated, or your XHTML validation will fail.
If you can't get the mentioned method to work, I'll look into how we can get non-blank anchors supported in the WYSIWYG.
And, the name attribute is obsolete in HTML5. This is an important factor for us and our clients. We may have to use another system for some clients in order to be able to provide them with this feature.
Also, from what I've seen, in Pagelime with repeating regions a unique id is generated. Could that not be used for the jump links? Apart from editing the html, not seeing how this can be easily managed by an end-user hoping to avoid html.
