"Translating" Anchors
Sævar Ingi , 5. bekk 2, Iceland

| Several web pages contain hidden codes called Anchors. For
example, if you click at this link, you are brought
to the search form at the bottom of this web page.
This is achieved by including the following hidden code in the web page: <A NAME="search"><!-- --> Anchors allow us to direct users to resources on other pages. It reduces the number of web pages required on our site, and is a useful cross-referencing feature. Make sure your translated web page does not loose any included anchors. Hint: Load your translated web page into a text editor, like Notepad. Print it out. Load the source page into the text editor. Use Notepad's search function to locate occurrences of "A NAME". When you find an anchor, find the same place in your translated page to see if it is still there. If not, add the anchor in your translated page using a web page editor. Next page: The pages' footer
