How do you link to a twiddler within an <html> tag? For example, say
my twiddler looks like this:

<html>
<img src="map.gif" style="border: none;" alt="Shapes" usemap="#shapes"/
>
<map name="shapes" id="shapes">

<area shape="circle"
coords="406,372,50"
href="HERE IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE A LINK TO THE CALIFORNIA TWIDDLER
APPEAR"
title="California" alt="California"/>

<area shape="default"
nohref="nohref" title="Default" alt="Default"/>

</map></html>

Note the comment in all caps after href= under the <area tag.

I've tried the standard things like [[California]] and even CaLifornia
(to create a new twiddler) but it doesn't work.

Thanks so much!

try this:

href="javascript:story.displayTiddler(null,'California')"

Would;
href=file:///S:/Wiki/MasterDBV4.html#Auto
also work given this is the result of a permalink ?

I did not have the pre-requisites to test this my self.

That would create a new instance - that is, open a new tab/window, or
reopen the document in the current window.

Thanks for your help. That mostly worked. It opens the tiddler above
the source tiddler. However, it doesn't scroll up to it, so it's hard
to see that it has opened.

I figured out that the following works as well:

href=javascript:;" onclick="onClickTiddlerLink(event);"
tiddlyLink="California"

Although this creates it below the source tiddler, but does auto-
scroll down to it. This seems to suit my needs fine, but if anyone
knew how to have the newly opened tiddler appear at the top, and
scroll to it automatically, that would be even better.

Thanks!
