Are bookmarks (Page Anchors) on a page possible on OR hosted sites? Like when you have different topics on the page and you click on a topic it takes you a different places on the page the there is a [Back To Top] link that take to back to the list of topics.

Yes - actually, the default design setup uses page anchors internally anyway. You should be able to create, for example, an FAQ list of questions that link down to the answers.

There's no support doc on this, specifically. What exactly are you wanting to do?

Exactly, what you stated in the reply.....create, for example, an FAQ list of questions that link down to the answers.

OK, gotcha.

You can do this on a Custom Page in your Hosted Website, where you control all the content on the page (that is, it isn't automatically generated by OwnerRez). Looks like your site has a bunch of pages like that, so this will work on any of them.

The Rich Text Editor where you are entering your website content looks somewhat like a normal text editor, but really what it is doing under the covers is creating HTML, which is what web browsers understand. Most of our clients don't want to see the HTML code details, but if you are familiar with HTML, you can view and edit the HTML code directly using the HTML Code button in the editor. It looks like this: < >

In the code, you can create standard HTML4 internal-page anchors and links. Here's a web page (found on Google) that talks about how that works:

We use exactly this method for our support doc FAQs all over the place. Here's an example - you can view the HTML source of the page to see what we did, then do basically the same thing in your HTML of your custom page and it'll work the same for you.
