Hi, Guys

What I'm tring to do is when I clink a link to go to next page, I want the user to see a certain area in the bottom of the page instead of see the top of the page. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Thanks
 
You can use anchors. You can look up the <a> tags for more information.

Hi Chopstik,

Thank you for the reply, But what do I know about the anchor is that it can jump from one area to another area in same page, but not different page. Am I right?
 
Sorry, if you want to access the anchor in a different page, just append #anchorname to the end of your URL.
Code:
[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com#thisSpot[/URL]

'[COLOR=green]#thisSpot is where you have your anchor in the other page.[/color]
