Making a “Jump-To” link to Reply Field

  • Hi All –

    I have my site customized so there is only one post as my home page/index and a singular, long comment list for it. Because the comments are getting so long, I’d like to make it so I can have a jump-to link from my posting that takes you right to the Reply Field so people don’t have to scroll all the way down. I can’t seem to get it to work… anyone know how I can ammend this?

    Thanks!

  • Right before the comment fields put this in your code
    <a name="Reply"/>
    Then you can put a link to this anchor in the top of you page that looks like this
    <a href="Reply">Reply-To</a>
    See if that works for you.

    No this has not worked… I think the issue is that the comments are on a different page (or floating around the internet somewhere…), different from the one Admin comment that sits at the top. I’ve tried a jump-to bottom link and that has not worked, either. Any more suggestions?

    Without actually seeing your home page it’s difficult to determine what needs to be done. A link to the page your talking about would help very much.

    straceya: I don’t see the problem, or perhaps you’re not explaining it clearly, but from looking at your site and from what you said above, jeremyclark13’s answer will actually work. That’s how you make an “in-page” link.

    What exactly are you trying to do that his answer doesn’t solve?

    what jeremy says should work efficiently but if it doesn’t work, use it on the last word of your post.

    jeremyclark13: the xhtml valid solution is:

    <a id="reply">

    and then

    <a href="reply">Reply-To</a>

    This is valid xhtml 1.0 transitional if that’s what your theme uses.

    <a name="reply" />

    I forgot about uppercase letters in tags though.

    <a href="reply">Reply-To</a>

    I talked about XHTML 1.1 Strict here, sorry! ??

    Since we have no idea which theme straceya is using either solution might work.

    The theme is called “Twister”

    The problem that I have experienced it seems is that when you put the link in the top part, I don’t know if the code can be written where the jump-to link can bring you to the bottom of the “whole blog” page, I guess you’d say. Since it’s supposed to refer to the “Leave A Reply” part, which is a seperate page, when you click the link it technically is looking for just the comments page, not trying to load up all the combine pages that make up my blog. Sorry if that sounded really confusing, but I’m confused as to how to make this happen!

    I will try to rework that code again that jeremy left for me.

    Thanks everyone for your kind advice.
