Open a popup to an anchor on the page

I have a little help page that I open as a popup. Is there a way I can place anchors on the help page and based on the link the user clicks the help page will display that section?

Yes. There are probably several ways to do that.

globalc,

If you create divs around each help topic and give them an id, you can then call the page with that id as an anchor.


 <div id="helptopic1">
 		<h2>Help topic 1</h2>
 		<p>Blah blah blah...</p>
 	</div>
 
 	<div id="helptopic2">
 		<h2>Help topic 2</h2>
 		<p>Blah blah blah...</p>
 	</div>

When you want to open the popup at helptopic2, you would call your page like so:


 <a href="page.htm#helptopic2" onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank'); return false;">Open me</a>
