To make the Pathfinder Header or any other Header the target for a hyperlink, enter a short identifier for the header.

In the Anchor Name field, supply the name of the anchor (if any) for the Header title. An anchor name is the target of an anchor link reference.

Example1: Once you create an anchor for the Header, you can create links directly to the Header from another element of the pathfinder or from another page on your Web site. For example, if you enter top in the Anchor Name field of the Pathfinder Header element, you can insert a Link element at the bottom of the pathfinder page with Back to Top in the Title field and #top in the URL field.

Example 2: After assigning Anchor Names to Header elements, you can create a table of contents for the pathfinder by adding a group of link or header elements near the top of the page. In the Title field for each link or header element, type the title of a part of the pathfinder (for example, News or Genealogy Resources). In the URL field for each element in the pathfinder contents, type the anchor name for the header of the pathfinder part to which you want to link the contents entry (for example, #news or #roots).
