Linking text from table to text in page?

    Hi everyone.

    I’m trying to link some text I have in the table to text in the rest of the page (in other words, text NOT in the table, but not a website url either).

    The “Insert Link” button I assume will not work for this. The “Insert Link” button is if you have a URL or hyperlink, but I want to link the row to text on the same page as the table.

    Is it possible to do this?

  • Hi, lkramerhmi,

    Maybe you can use the internal links in page to do this?

    Please refer to here for internal link building and working method, in the section of “HTML Links – The id Attribute”. Or here.

    Basically, two steps are required to do this:

    1. Add a in-page anchor to the text you want to link to, such as,

    <div id="link1">the text to link</div>

    or,

    <a name="link1">the text to link</a>

    2. Then in the table, use href url,

    `#link1′

    to link to the anchor.

    I wish this could be helpful to you.

    Hi Haoxian.

    I’m a newbie at this, so could you specify a bit more what you think I should try?

    I should put <div id=”link1″>the text to link</div> to the text I want to link to, and the coding ‘#link1’ near the text in the table? Is that the right coding?

    Haoxian I got it to work! Using one of the websites you shared, I looked over a page and found a way to make it work. Thank you SO much!

    Yes, you got me right.

    And ‘#link1’ works like a normal href url that you can add to the text in table through “Insert Link”. You can look at the # that is linked to your own reply post after the “Posted xxx minutes ago” for an example.

    And, if <div id="link1">the text to link</div> does not have the style you like, you can try the other form.

    Very glad it helps ??

    In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
