Show all headers | View raw

This is a simple piece of code which many of you could have written and
tested in five minutes.  But you may not all have thought of doing so.


In the common include file, or in an include file present on the editing
system but not on the public server :-

        function Hooks() { var DAJ, T, J = document.anchors.length
          while (J--) { DAJ = document.anchors[J] ;
            if (T=DAJ.name) DAJ.title = "#" + T } }


In each texty linky anchory page :

        <BODY onload="Hooks()">
or      <BODY onload="if (Hooks) Hooks()">

Now, if you think while reading page A and editing page B  : "I should
link from somewhere in page A to the heading anchor there in page B -
what is it called?", just hover over the heading in B.  Comment?

The 'if' part is perhaps not needed; and, with little more effort, one
could show IDs similarly.
