how to put links (name anchors) in a dynamic generated page

Thanks for the reply! I'll keep it for future reference, however, I just realised today that my logic was flawed on creating a pop-up menu link on my results.asp page. My results.ap page displays data in a table based on a category value passed by a form variable. Thus, results.asp renders 'year' and 'card #' based on more than one category of card type (baseball. football, etc.) which in turn is based on what is selected by the user. As a consequence, the pop-up menu link shows up on all data result categories other than those it was designed for. Hope that made sense. Anyway, I need to figure out a different way to allow users to be able to move to different sections of the page for only ONE category (baseball) where the data results are rather lengthy compared to other categories (football...). Thanks again for your suggestion. I may be able to use it for a different app.!

If you year card allways follows that format then you could use the
following code on the page.

Outside of the repeat region have this statement

<%
Dim TestYear, CurrentYear, ThisYearCard
TestYear = "0000"
%>

Then in the repeat region where you want the anchor to appear use this code

<%
ThisYearCard = recordset.fields.item("YearCard").value
CurrentYear = Left(ThisYearCard, 4)
If TestYear <> CurrentYear then
response.write("A name='") & CurrentYear & "'>"
TestYear = CurrentYear
End if
%>

Where you want the Year card to appear you would then use <%=ThisYearCard%>
rather than the recordset element.
