I'm using iWeb to make a single page site which need doing quite quickly, I have the design I want but is there anyway to add anchors in iWeb that links to clicking a piece of text? (either in post or using html snippet)

Have you tried this?
http://www.google.com/search?q=anchors+iweb
My solution :
http://www.wyodor.net/Tutorials/Anchors/Anchors.html
Discussed years ago in this forum.
Search for, well, "anchor" or "anchors".
You can't do this directly in iWeb and to be able to make it work, you will need a lot of extra work and for a one page site it is hardly worth it.
Search this forum for the topic of 'Anchors' and you will find your answer and also click on the right hand side of this page where it has More Like This.
Lots of solutions offered.
For a one page site Wyodor's method probably would be your best bet depending on how many anchors you need and where they will be. But it's all pretty much the same, using HTML snippets with anchor code in them.
OT
Here's some info about the post editing method...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/post-edit/anchors.html
If you only have one or two pages in a whole site that need post editing it makes life easier if you put it (them) in a separate sub site so that you don't have to edit them when you change the content or add pages to the main site.
my example is not anchors, but same result as anchors; and can be done entirely in iweb, no editing.
have a look: http://iwebwidgets.cyclosaurus.com/Anchors/Anchors.html
sorry, maybe im being daft but how do you actually achieve this, i know it tell you what to do but no how you do it??
thanks for the post
@Cyclosaurus This is exactly what I'm looking for...AWESOME. Can you provide step by step on how accomplish this?
Thanks for your time! #Genius

Mr. Cyclosaurus never explains his code.
To find out how it's done, look at the source, follow the links and study the code.
Which is what you have to do anyway. No copy/paste here.
While you are waiting for Cyclosaurus to compile a step by step tutorial, you could consider using the post editing method mentioned above and include jQuery like this...
here is an old link to my previous post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3012685?answerId=15056178022#15056178022
in the above link, there was mentioning of creating iweb widgets...
well, the boat had left the dock, the train had left the station... very few people sent in feedback and asked for tools to build iweb widgets - gurus and experts included.
adding scriptaculous's effect.js library to my page is just drag/drop the (my) wdiget from widgets pane into the page.
however, you can add it to your page using html snippet widget (sorry, no more instruction in this forum).
as far as post editing... that's iweb1 method (that's 5yrs ago!!!) when there is no way to add code to iweb page (no html snippet widget).
