I manage a site for a client of mine through Ning.com. They want me to enable a graphic that when clicked will auto jump the user to a specific point on the page (i.e. 75% down towards the footer) I know how to do this in Wordpress through adding a hash tag, but is this possible on Ning?

Thanks!

It should be possible using an HTML anchor (http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp).

I got it. I always seem to figure it out right after posting the thread... Anyway, thanks for the help!

Actually, you may want to think about using ID's. Not all browser like anchors. Something like...

<a href="file.html#foo">To point a</a>

<p><a name="foo" id="foo">Hi, I'm point A</a></p>

What you posted is an anchor tag. Using the id attribute instead of the name attribute (or in addition, as you posted) is indeed a good recommendation, just wanted to point out that you are still indeed using an anchor (which is the proper way).
