Anchor links are useful tools for a website, especially when a web page contains a lot of text on a single page. These links, which may sometimes also be called internal links or page jumps, allow people to click on highlighted text and jump to another part of the page. They are helpful to improve navigation on a web page.

Many times when people have large single page websites they’ll need to create a page index or table of contents. The index at the top is a perfect place to add anchor links, so that each index entry becomes its own jumping point to another part of the page. This allows people viewing the webpage to click on the index or table of contents section and move immediately to access the material they want, instead of having to scan through numerous sections. Anchor links are commonly user friendly and tend to be preferred by sophisticated Internet users who want to get to applicable material as quickly as possible.

Simple Horizontal (Text) Menu

Simple horizontal text menues such as this are often used for a basic website that only offers a small number of additional pages of information. These menus are great for maximizing the utilization of the valuable space, the real estate, at the top part of your website. Using such menues provides for more width space for the key information you want your clients to see at the very top of your website, as soon as it loads, and before any real scrolling down the page is needed. The menu links are set up to function as normal but will not pull you away from this "Horizontal Menues" section.

Slideshows 1 - Using Drop-In Graphics



Creative Graphics 1.1

This Slideshow uses "Drop-In" Text Graphics.
We have three graphics side by side in this
example. By keeping the text here in short lines
and no width defined then the table graphics stay
tigher together in this three column setup using
this Slideshow "Drop-In" javascript code.
This is a great tool for visual graphics like
logo's if you really want to draw attention.



Website Graphics 1.2

This Slideshow "Drop-In" Text Graphics.
Note that each graphic "Drops In" at a
different rate for a nicer effect. For
these slides we did not set up the first
two graphics with any (hyper) links.
Slideshows 1.3 will demonstrate linking
to further detailed information.



Solutions Graphics 1.3

This Slideshow "Drop-In" Text Graphics.
If you place the mouse pointer over any of
these 3 text graphics (above) it will stop
text from dropping until it is moved away
again. Pretty Cool, Ehh? This graphic is set
up as a link to a details information pages
that shows up "on top" to provide more detailed
information while leaving the original webpage open.

Slideshows 2 - Photos With Anchor Links



Antique Autos 2.1 - Border Framed Slideshow

We placed the first slideshow here, (2.1), with a single cell table with a wider black border to give this slideshow a "framed" look. There are several ways to setup slideshows both with and without borders, and some work better then others depending on the needs of the slideshow. It largely dedpends on whether you are using a uniform size for your photos or they are different shapes and sizes. The more variation in sizes the harder it is to keep the slideshow looking really clean and properly centered. Plus it simply looks better if the photos that are used are all the same size and shape.



Fall Photos 2.2 - Slideshow Without Borders

This Slideshow is of Eight Fall Photos with no border functions. All photos have the same dimensions of 200 w x 200 h so the transition is much smoother then if we had of used a variety of different size slides. - We have kept these 3 slideshows with having (almost) all images with the same dimensions so you can see what hapens when the odd sized photo shows up.



Cakes and Sweets 2.3 Anchor Links to "Detail Page"

As in Slideshows 1 (above), If you move your mouse over the photo the picture will stay still, BUT this slideshow 2.3 uses Anchor Links from each slide that is clicked upon would take you to more information detail on that particular slide. The link can be to another page or to another part of your website (like features of that product or the heading for the website section - as 2.1 and 2.2) or even to an external website for more information. In Slideshow 2.3 clicking on the slide link will load a new page seperately "on top" rather then leave the slideshow. The options to navigate using individual slides is pretty neat and useful in many ways to assess more information when they are set up properly.

Slideshows 3 - Navigation via Text/Buttons with Borders

Check Out These Cakes and Sweets

Slideshow 3.1 within Table with Captions and Navigation Buttons

This is a slideshow bordered within a table and using buttons to control the way it is viewed. Right now there are no links from the photos to further detail although this could be set up if desired. This slideshow allows for a soft background color to complement the feel of the slideshow. It is a very clean slideshow format.


Slideshow 3.2 - With Text Navigation Buttons

This is a centered slideshow bordered in green that is controlled via text links as buttons to advance through the slides. Just click on the text (Previous - Next) links - to rotate through the slides as desired.


back forth
Or go to a particular slide:
1st slide | 2nd slide | 3rd slide |4th slide

Translucent Slideshow 3.3

Here we have a slideshow with a translucent visual effect. This slideshow has a defined outer border set to the largest dimensions of the photos used. It will automatically center all photos that are the same size or smaller then the defined slideshow dimensions. The photos in Slideshow 3.1 and 3.2 are not set up with any links, BUT this slideshow 3.3 is set up with anchor links to open in a "new window". Just another example of how photo links could be used.

Slideshows 4 - Horizontal and Vertical Marquees and Reel-In Effects

Fall Over the Lake Fall Leaves on the Trees Fall in the Park Even More Fall Fall - My Favorite Season Autumn Beauty Fall Leaves on the Ground Fall is Awesome

Marquee Slideshow 4.1

Here we have a marquee slideshow with a horizontal slide visual effect. This slideshow has eight images with thin borders. It will automatically scroll across each photo until you place your mouse over the image. The photos in Slideshow 4.1 are set up with links to more information in a "new window". Yet another example of how image links could be used.



Was That a Midget Triumpt?

Was That a Lincoln?

Was That a Dodge Monaco?

Was That an Ugly Old Car?

Slideshow 4.2 - Using Marquee Scrolling

In this slideshow 4.2 we are using the marquee scrolling feature. The marquee option is good if you desire the viewer to see all the photos. When using this format for a slideshow they cannot interrupt (i.e. pause or stop) the slides from repeatedly scrolling through. Although that also means that they cannot hover the mouse pointer and stop it on any one slide.

back forth

Reel-In Slideshow 4.3

Here we have a Reel-In Slideshow 4.3. whichs pulls in from the right side using an outer thick red border. Although the coding for this slideshow should center the photos of various dimensions it seems to align to the right side. Therefore if we used more then one size photo there is a slight margin noticeable to the left side. So this particular javascript should only use photos of the same dimensions. The photos here, are set up as anchor links to this SS4 section, BUT they are set up to open in a "new window" as another demonstration of the flexibility of linking.

Back to Top

Slideshows 5 - Multi-View Photo Selection Tools

Dynamic Image Selector - Slideshow 5.1

Here we have your Dynamic Image Selector - Slideshow 5.1. This is a "dynamic" image selector that allows your surfers to see an image by selecting it from a text selection list. It is dynamic in that the images do NOT have to be of the same dimensions, a limitation that most other image selector scripts out there have. Great when your photos are a variety of dimensions. The photos are not currently set up as links to further information although they can be.


Slideshow 5.2 - Thumbnail Gallery Feature

This has a 4 x 2 thumbnail grid of kitten photos from which the main section will automatically display each one. You can bring any photo to the front by placing the mouse over the desired image. Each photo can include a caption underneath it. Thumbnails are another great slideshow effect.

Translucent Carousel Slideshow 5.3

Here we have a Translucent Carousel Slideshow 5.3. This slideshow displays eight images in a translucent fashion that clarifies as the pictures revolve clockwise. All photos are the same size and you may move the mouse icon over each photo to zoom in on the picture. The photos in Slideshow 5.3 are set up as anchor links to this SS5 section, BUT links in this slideshow could also be set up to open in a "new window".

If the carousel is scrolling fast, it is because of the number of slideshow scripts running on this one page and some will effect others on this one webpage. If you click on refresh this carousel slideshow will resume to its normal speed again. Thank you.

Navigation Buttons, Directional Arrows and Icons








Buttons - Don't Push It

Here we have a few examples of button icons that can be used to assist in navigation of your website. The buttons can be solid, multi-colored, textured and labled. We have acess to many catchy Buttons but don't push it. (See Column 3->)













Directional Arrows and Icons

Here we have an example of directional arrows and icons that can be used to assist in navigation of your website. Often such directional graphics are great for a visual cue then just using text. They can be either stationary or animated graphics. Some like the animated, others do not. The choice is yours to decide. We have acess to many catchy arrows and icons of all sizes that will give your website that extra little punch of visual effect.


These text area boxes are great if you want to use a small area of your website for details on a topic, without scrolling the whole page. Something that doesn't need to be printed off, but which will give your audience more information without opening another webpage in another window.

Another cool effect is using a background graphic behind a block of text. This is a bit different then a textarea box. This section is border free and uses a faiding background image to fill the entire section. Pretty Cool!

Small Note: - The background colors and images will not show when printed out. This saves on the use of colored ink and will give your printout a much cleaner look.


These are example of form submit buttons. The first set of three can work similar to a horizontal menu that actions which clicked on. The last one (by itself) is just another example of a single form submit button.


Other pressable buttons are often created using two graphics. One that is how the button looks (up), as first seen, and a second graphic which is what the graphic changes too (down), temporaily when pressed (clicked on). See the two graphics that follow as an example:

Graphic 1 (Up) + Graphic 2 (Down) And (html code) = "Radio Button"

1 + 2 = "This Radio Button" Home
The result (when coded) can create a pressable graphic "Radio Button" as shown above.

The Fancy Stuff - Like Press(able) Radio Buttons and Icons

Here we have a few examples of the fancy stuff. You may want more fancy buttons or icon graphics that can be used to assist in navigation of your website. Such buttons can be three dimensional and can even have a raised and pressed look when you move over or press (click) the button with the mouse. The buttons can be solid, multi-colored, textured and labled. We have acess to many catchy buttons that provide that extra little punch of visual effect, but don't push it. (just kidding, LOL)
