Creating Bookmarks

When you are surfing the Web, a bookmark or favorite in your browser is a shortcut to a Web site or page, a placeholder so that you can quickly access a favorite location in cyberspace. In Expression Web, the term bookmark (as known as an HTML anchor) is used to denote a link that helps the reader navigate a long Web page quickly, rather than having to scroll through it. After you have placed one or more bookmarks, they are available to navigate to in the Bookmark dialog box. If you no longer need a bookmark, you can delete it. However, when you delete a bookmark, any hyperlinks that are connected to the deleted destination are not automatically adjusted and are now dead links that you need to locate and repair.

Create a Bookmark

Open the Web page you want to change in Design view.

Select the text or graphic element within the page that you want to bookmark. If you have broken the page into sections, section headers make excellent bookmarks.

Click the Insert menu, and then click Bookmark.
