"Hot Linking" to a photo in the same email

Is it possible to have a clickable link in the text of an email that will
"jump" to a photo that is inserted farther down in the email?

You would have to use the Source tab and create the link in the code.

Yes. If you know how to code that on a web-page, you can do it in an HTML
message, too.

Sure. Just enter the link address.

It is not that simple. You have to create the link and give the picture an
A name tag.

Sure it is. There's nothing complex about that if you've ever done a
web page or two or even just read how to create links and jump to
specific locations whether it's on the same page, a different page, or a
different site. I've done it several times on the sites I work on,
including my own. In fact, I have pictures linked to other pictures,
which are in turn stacked, showing in the heriarchy as a single pic but
in reality is a "stack" of pics. An anchor is an anchor is an ... and a
link is a link is a ... , basically. Stacks require a little more work
but even they are simply once you get it set up.

Rather than wondering how to do it, you seem more interested in debating
how complex something is, which is a "ymmv" subject and possibly
different for each person depending on their expertise levels. So I'll
just leave it at that and thus leave this thread. Talk to yourself if
you wish.

You really think so? You, the guy who just once again cross-posted a
person's original post to other groups in midstream without
consideration of whether the OP wanted or didn't want that? You who
doesn't know a f'up froma needless cross-post? Youwho thrives on seeing
your owndrivel in print?
I did not realize your experience/knowledge level ran that shallow
but I guess it does. Whether you are old or young, you are exhibiting
signs of senility lately and often violating the MVP concensus rulings
you chose to promise to abide by. Let's talk registry cleaners for
awhile.

Ron:

This reminds me of the fellow who asked another person on the street if he
had the time. The other person answered to the affirmative, yet walked on
without telling him what time it was.

As I read through the series of replies here--and there seems to be, shall
we say, "a difference of opinion," I think what I'd like to do is
possible....but not by me if I don't know how to do it.

I know how to do a hyperlink, of course, to a web site but to a photo
resident in the email I'm sending....I can't figure it out.

If you could think of a site I could go to to give me the step by
step......thanks.

1. Place an anchor at the place you want to go to.

2. Write the link to go to the anchor. Say the anchor's name is
"#ThisPic".
The link, depending on what you're writing the code with, will look
somethign like:
This_is_a_link#ThisPic
The octothorpe (#) signifies to the program to go to the bookmark by
that name.
The anchor only needs to preced the location you want by at least one
line or could even be on the same line, but a line before is better
viewing wise because where the anchor is will be at the top of the
screen.

Here's the anchor:
A NAME="tip"
The anchor can be on the same line or any line prior to wherever "top"
is chosen to be on the page, or in your case just before the line the
image is on would be best so it's obvious the whole picture is being
shown.

And here's the link to it:
A HREF="#tip" top/A

Look at the Source Code of just about any page you go to that does
essentially what you want to do. Unfortunately though there are as many
ways to do this as there are beans in a can of beans, so to really
understand a little reading might help the most; any of the following
should be of help to you:

http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_a.asp ---- Excellent resources,
tutorials, articles, etc.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html

http://www.hypergurl.com/anchors.html


and finally, the 'a' tag in general:
http://www.htmlquick.com/reference/tags/a.html

I'd have given you all this info before but you seemed to indicate you
knew about tags and links and just needed something to point you in the
right direction in general. w3schools.com, BTW, is one of the best
references and learning centers there is for learning many different
languages and their nuances. Snoop around and I think you'll lke what
you findg.

HTH,
