I am working on a website page that is mainly thumbnail photos that link to larger photos. I am trying to make the main larger photo return link back to the exact thumbnail (or that area on the page) that it was linked from. This is to keep people fromhaving to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page every time they go back to the gallery. I am using Dream Weaver, and cant't figure out how to make that happen. I thought it was "Target" but that doesn't work either.
Help ????

1. tag the thumbnail with: <A NAME="thumbnail_name">...</A>

2. then the return link (from the full image) would be: <A HREF="thumb_page.html#thumbnail_name>...</A>

that should take you right back to the appropriate tag within the thumbnail page... here is a link to the reference page at w3.org: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.1

(notice it has the "#" sign at the end... taking you to the specific area of the page you want... just like you want to do!)

hope that helps
