This code may look different on your own site, depending on the size of the table, the graphic or text used. Both examples are necessary in two different areas of each page. Vital elements appear in bold.

EXAMPLE Providing a link at the top of your page to a "target" in the content area:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
  <td bgcolor="#000066">
   <table width="620" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
     <td><a href="http://www.csusb.edu/ACM/#MainContent"><img src="http://www.csusb.edu/ACM/../banner1.gif" alt="Skip to Main Content"></a></td>
     <td><a href="http://www.csusb.edu"><img src="http://purchasing.csusb.edu/graphics/banner2.gif" alt="CSUSB Home Page" border="0"></a></td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

EXAMPLE Providing a "target" in the content area:

<a name="MainContent"></a>
