The technique is the same as that already explained for placing
named anchors, but with one minor difference when it comes to linking. Instead of placing a hash mark
and name to denote the named anchor, you must first include the URL of the linked page.
Suppose you want to call the disclaimer section of a legal page from your table of contents. You could insert
something like the following in the Link text box of the Property inspector:
legal.htm#disclaimer
This link, when activated, first loads the referenced Web page (legal.htm) and then goes directly to the
named anchor place (#disclaimer). Figure 10-7 shows how you enter this in the Property inspector.
Keep in mind that you can use any form of addressing prior to the hash mark and named anchor.
FIGURE 10-7
You can link to any part of a separate Web page by using named anchors.

Creating null links
One of the more obscure uses for named anchors comes into play when you are trying to use Dreamweaver??™s
JavaScript Behavior feature. Because JavaScript needs to work with a particular type of tag to perform
onMouseOver and other events, a useful trick is to create a null link??”a link that doesn??™t actually link to
anywhere.
You create a null link by marking some text or an image with a link to #nowhere.
