Topic: Named anchor button for toolbar
Any chance of adding a named anchor button? My users get distressed when I suggest that they can insert a line of html code without the sky falling in on their heads.

Hi David, I've just had a play with a test site.
In the system I edited some text and highlighted "Go down to footer" and clicked on the Link icon. In the URL box I entered #footer and clicked the OK button. When I saved my changes and clicked on the "Go down to footer" link it scrolled down the page to the footer.
I knew the ID of footer because I checked the HTML source code. Your clients obviously won't want to do that every time they create an anchor link.
What they can do is create a link like my example above and create another link which is the destination. When you create links you can switch to the Advanced tab and enter an ID for the link. So if your clients create the destination link then the source link they can enter #destination-ID into the URL box and everything should work.
For example, if I wanted to create an anchor link to the footer then I would first create a link in the footer titled "Footer link" and assign it an ID in the Advanced tab, e.g. footer. I would then create the anchor link which would have the URL of #footer
Ah. Right, that makes sense. All I need to do now is train my clients.
Thanks, Simon.
