Lakshmi,

 

Please check below sample controller and visualforce page code.

 

Before this create a custom entity Book__c with following fields -

ChapterBody__c

 

Sample Apex Class:

 

 

public class ChapterDetails
{
    public List<Numbering> chapterno     {get; set;}
    
    public List<Book__c> chapter     {get; set;}
    
    
    public ChapterDetails()    {
        load();
    }

public void load()
{
       System.debug('Inside load method');
       chapter=[select Name,ChapterBody__c from Book__c];
       chapterno = new List<Numbering>();
       for(Integer i=1; i<chapter.size(); i++)
       {
           Numbering objNum = new Numbering(chapter[i],i);
           chapterno.add(objNum);
       }
}   

public class Numbering
{
      public String chapterno      {get; set;}
      public String chaptercontents      {get; set;}
      
public Numbering(Book__c em,Integer i)
{
      chaptercontents = em.ChapterBody__c;
      chapterno= 'Chapter ' + i;
}     
      
}
}

 

 

and visualforce page like

 

<apex:page controller="ChapterDetails" tabStyle="Book__c" >
    <apex:pageBlock >
    <apex:message />
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="Books Detail page"  >
            <table>
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!chapterno}" var="item" >
            <apex:column><a href="#{!item.chapterno}">{!item.chapterno}</a></apex:column>
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
            </table>
            <table>
            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!chapterno}" var="item" >
            <apex:column><a name="{!item.chapterno}"></a><p>{!item.chaptercontents}</p></apex:column>
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
            </table>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

 

You may have to make minor tweaks with look and feel. But overall output will be list of chapter and clicking on them will take you to position of contents using anchoring. Hope this helps.

Please don't hesitate to contact me again. Thank you!

Laxmi,

 

HTML Source you have provided seems to working well in visualforce page.

 

Would you like to develop visualforce page for this?

You can achieve this using visualforce page and controller.

 

Your controller will return necessary list which hold, chapter number and contents. In visualforce + html combination display list of chapters.

 

Let me know if you need additional help on this.

Nagalakshmi,

 

Please check modified code.

 

 

<apex:page controller="ChapterDetails" tabStyle="Book__c" >
<style>
li {
float: left;
width: 60px;
}
</style>
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockSection title="Books Detail page"  >
<table width="700px">
<apex:dataList value="{!chapterno}" var="item"  >
<a href="#{!item.chapterno}">{!item.chapterno}</a>
</apex:dataList>
</table>
<table width="700px">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!chapterno}" var="item" >
<apex:column  ><a name="{!item.chapterno}"></a><p>{!item.chaptercontents}</p></apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</table>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

 

Here dataList i.e. unordered List are coneverted into horizontal manner using CSS. Hope this will help you.
