How did you create the internal links?
When you click on a smiley it takes you farther down the page, how did you do that?
It would be extremely helpful to my entry, if you could tell me enough that I should be able to do it myself I would be very thankful.

To view the page code, try this link: <./>test588279</.>
However, the internal links really just exploit the standard HTML address (A) tag with a NAME which then becomes the reference point for a # directive using that name at the end of the page name.

That's a lot of script.
I see the A NAME="stuff"
But, I don't quite follow. 
How did you do that?
SEF Posted Feb 5, 2007
The bit you want to be able to jump to needs to be given an address label (NAME), eg:
Foot in Mouth
NB It doesn't have to be a header. It could be any text or a picture.
Then the link to jump to that place would be a normal A HREF tag ending in the #name or one of the local GuideML forms including that, eg:
<SMILEY TYPE="footinmouth" H2G2="A588279#footinmouth"/>
to get the picture and link combined. Or for just a text link:

Thank You!
Hope I don't botch it up.

To not botch it up: make sure you use a unique name for each jump location and don't put any silly characters or spaces into them.

what about a number like 1 or 2 or 3 ? I know you can't use any of these (?@#$%^&*)
How did you do that?
SEF Posted Feb 5, 2007
Numbers are OK. So should be the underscore character: _
