How to Add Bookmarks in Dreamweaver

Insert bookmarks or anchors for easier Web page navigation.

Dreamweaver provides various menus, buttons and tools that can be used to add HTML elements to your Web pages. Bookmarks, technically called "anchors," are HTML data markers that provide convenient, clickable links to content in various locations in the page. Anchors allow site visitors to navigate back to the top of a page, jump to links from a table of contents or resume reading at a specified location in the page.

Instructions

1. Launch Dreamweaver and load up your HTML file.

2. Click the location in the page where you want to insert an anchor. Click "Insert," then click "Named Anchor."

3. Type an identifier in the "Anchor Name" field -- for instance, "pagetop." Click "OK" to set the anchor.

4. Go to the point in your page where the link will appear and type anchor text -- for example, "Go to Top." Type "#pagetop" (without quotes) in the "Link" field of the Properties panel. Use the same name for this field as the one you previously assigned to the anchor.
