just put each of your "pages" into DIVs with the display attribute set to
'none'.  Then use your links to invoke a function which hides the currently
visible section and displays the desired section.

e.g.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
//Frist create the links
for(var n=1;n<=30;n++)
  document.write('<A HREF="javascript:showPage('+n+');">Page
'+n+'</A> ');

var iCurrentPage=0;

function showPage(i){
  if(iCurrentPage>0)
    document.getElementByID("page"+iCurrentPage).style.display="none";
  
  iCurrentPage=i;
  document.getElementByID("page"+i).style.display="none";
}
</SCRIPT>
<DIV ID="page1" STYLE="display:none;">
...page 1 content ...
</DIV>
<DIV ID="page2" STYLE="display:none;">
...page 2 content ...
</DIV>
<DIV ID="page3" STYLE="display:none;">
...page 3 content ...
</DIV>
<DIV ID="page4" STYLE="display:none;">
...page 4 content ...
</DIV>
...etc...

page


Hi!

I need to produce a long document which will be saved as one .htm page. 
Another .htm page will contain say 30 links to different points on the 
other .htm page at regular intervals from top to bottom.

Is it possible to have a user click on any link and for the relevant 
section of the long page to be called so that the user thinks he/she is 
only looking at one page containing only the relevant section's 
information and nothing else? I know I can navigate to different sections 
using html only by linking <a href=page.htm#link1> to <a name=link1> but 
you can still see the preceeding and trailing information from other 
sections on the same page using this method!!! Before you ask, no, I can't 
just have 30 .htm files with one page per subject, it has to all be on one 
page.

I hope I've made my point clear - it's difficult to explain using words 
but with a pad and pencil I'd be there in seconds.......

Hope someone can at least point me in the right direction to look.

Thanks
