Tip of the Week: Creating "Jump" Links
If you need to post a lengthy document on your LawHelp client or probono.net advocate site, one way you can help your readers jump to the point more quickly is to provide a table of contents at the beginning of dynamic documents using HTML "jump" links. Jump links allow users to see
all of the main sections of a document without scrolling.
Take a look at the following dynamic document from LawHelp.org/DC that
uses jump links:
http://www.lawhelp.org/link.cfm?1638
A list of links is provided as a table of contents at the top of the resource, each of which "jumps" the reader down to the corresponding section within the document.
Jump links can also help users skip ahead to the most relevant sections of HTML manuals or other lengthy resources on your advocate site. In longer documents, don't forget to include a "back to top" link at the end of each section.
Creating jump links in dynamic documents is not hard using the ActivEdit tool. Visit the online ActivEdit tutorials to walk through each step: http://www.cfdev.com/aeusertutorials/. Choose #7 Hyperlinks, Part 2. We've also prepared detailed written instructions, which follow this Tip.
Creating Jump Links
Creating jump links in dynamic documents isn't hard! It can be done using the ActivEdit tool. Here's what to do:
1.) While viewing your dynamic document in admin mode, create a table of contents. This can simply be a list of the sections contained in the document. Now, highlight a list item and click the hyperlink button (the button with a picture of a globe on the ActivEdit toolbar). A window will appear. Delete the "http" text from the HREF field and replace it with a # followed by text of your choosing, e.g. #section1. Click Insert Link to save. Do this for each list item, using unique text for the HREF field.
2.) Now, place your cursor in the location within your document a list item is "jumping" to. DO NOT HIGHLIGHT the text. Click the hyperlink button again.
3.) In the window that appears, delete the "http" text from the HREF field. At the bottom of the window, in the NAME field, enter the SAME text as above, e.g. section1. Do not include the # sign. The jump link won't work unless this text is the same as the text in the list item's HREF field. Click Insert Link to save.
Within longer documents, don't forget to include a "back to top" link at the end of each section. Highlight the back to top text at the end of each section, click the hyperlink button, delete the "http" text from the HREF field and replace it with #top. Click Insert Link to save. Now, place your cursor at the top of the document, click the hyperlink button, delete the "http" text from the HREF field. At the bottom of the window, in the NAME field, enter top. Click Insert Link to save.
