Link from text on 1 page to text another page within app

I am sorry to bring this up again, but still have not figured this out. Would be awesome if someone can give me an example. I want to link a word on one page, to another page within my app. The html editor gives me many options: I can link to text on the same page but not to another page in the app. This has to be easy and I just don't see it.. sorry... thanks

If you can link to another part of the document, you're half way there. There are two ways to do this... a) With documents included (compiled) in your Xcode project. page1.html and page2.html in the BT_docs folder in Xcode In page1.html your link would be <a href='page2.html'>go to page 2</a> In page2.html your link would be <a href='page1.html'>go to page1</a> b) With documents NOT in the project, but from URL's intead... page1.html and page2.html on your website In page1.html your link would be <a href='http://www.yousite.com/page2.html'>go to page 2</a> In page2.html your link would be <a href='http://www.yousite.com/page1.html'>go to page1</a>

hmmm.... I can't get this to work - I'm trying to link to a map page created in Buzztouch Control Panel. I can't find an address to link to - any hints? because this thread is now a few pages in, I might start a fresh thread (don't h8 me!)

@wendymadeit: There is a difference between linking two HTML documents (web pages) and linking to another buzztouch screen type. In other words, html links, <a> anchor tags will easily connect documents like on the normal web. But..it sounds like your're trying to load a new screen type from an HTML doc, a map in this case. This is totally different a bit sketchy...I'll look for your other post before adding details. Just know it's a biiiii-tch to get it to work that way ;-) You can, just a pain. Maybe use the right-side navigation button on the HTML screen to load the map instead of a link in the HTML itself? Just an idea.
