Besides using style runs you could try the following simple method that works with the htmltext of a (locked) field and works also in a browser. -- Assuming (as usual) -- [1] you use the following style for a link target -- <a name="target10">X</a> -- where X is any char e.g. a space (else LC removes -- the tag in its htmltext!) -- [2] you use the following style for a local page link -- <a href="#target10">Target10</a> Then the following in the field's script does what you want. -- jumps to local page links (as described above) ##[-hh 2020] on linkClicked pUrl if pUrl begins with "#" then delete char 1 of pUrl put "<a name=" "e& pUrl "e& ">" into tTarget -- of course there should be no return in tTarget put the htmltext of me into tHtml if tTarget is in tHtml then set itemdelimiter to tTarget put numToChar(1) after item 1 of tHtml set htmltext of me to tHtml set itemdelimiter to numToChar(1) put 1+length(item 1 of me) into tL delete char tL of me -- select char tL to tL-1 of me --> variant select char tL of me --> see it in locked field -- scrollSelectionIntoView --> optional end if end if end linkClicked -- works for any selection in a field ##[-hh 2020] on scrollSelectionIntoView put the selectedLoc into tSL put the vscroll of me into tV put item 2 of tSL - the top of me into tDiff if tDiff > 0.75*the height of me then set vscroll of me to tV + 0.4*the height of me else if tDiff < 0.25*the height of me then set vscroll of me to tV - 0.4*the height of me end if end scrollSelectionIntoView _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
