First, go read this article (if you haven't):

FreeTrade uses the FreeEnergy templating system. When you say "footer
screen",
you make me nervous that you're not using the modules properly, so allow me
to
explain. A layout module will use include() to branch to one or more
navigation
modules and one (and only one) screen module. It knows which screen module
to
show because it's submitted as a form variable (like SCREEN=welcome). And
actually, it chooses a layout module based on an entry in the ScreenInfo
array.
The placement of navigation modules is hardcoded into the layout module, so
if
you're using with_side_nav, you always get modules/navigation/page_top at
the
top of the HTML page.
Does that answer your question? Because you might also be asking about how
to
make a proper URL for an anchor tag.

Hopefully you ordered the second edition, which has been available for all
of
a week. You'll recognize it by the purple spine (the first edition was
orange).
