Hello !!!!
I'm having a not-so-unexpected problem regarding named anchors on IE mac.
My page is structured like that :
<body>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
... <-- divs for the design and the menu
<div id="frame">
all my stuff inside
</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</body>
I defined : base target="_self"
The problem, on IE mac, is that on my page, if I click a named anchor, instead of going to the targeted thing, it will just reload the page and stay where it was.
I assume it's because I'm using a scrollable div and not a frame, but it's annoying.
It works in all other browsers, of course.
Any idea how I could fix that ?
Thanks a lot,
Ness
Edit : if I provide a page, it might be easier... silly me... Page (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/map.php">http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/map.php</a><!-- m -->)
Oh, and doesn't work on Netscape 6.0 either...
second edit : it doesn't work with Safari either...
So, basically, it works with FF pc and mac, IE pc, Opera 8.Try: document.getElementById('elmID').scrollIntoView(true);thanks for your suggestion, Fang, but I'm not using ANY javascript on the page. I usually do, but for this specific website, I won't.
But it's strange that it's like that...
target=_self is the right thing, no ?
I don't think I made a mistake in defining my anchors, I'm quite used to doing it...
Try with name and id with the same value.mmm, why not ! I'll give it a try, thanks ! ( I'll keep you informed about that... but later, because now I'm on my pc, with a decent netscape version, and of course, no IE for mac... 
)I tried... It doesn't work, at least not in Opera 7.5... 
Try: document.getElementById('elmID').scrollIntoView(true);
I finally tried this one, and if it works fine in FF, it doesn't work at all on Opera. No improvement.
Anybody ???
Pretty pretty please ? with sugar and cherry on top ?

what about that fading text scroller!?
Some versions of Opera have a problem/bug with anchor bookmarks (7.0 to 7.6 I believe). In Opera8 the links work.what about that fading text scroller!?
hé—ÂÂ旈枖? that's the only one, and it has a noscript tag as well, so that all browsers not having javascript enabled can still view it

yeah, I know. But... it doesn't work in Safari ( latest version ), IE for mac ( latest version ), and Netscape 7.5 and earlier, as well as Opera 7.5 and earlier...
It's starting to make a big bunch of browsers...Some of the bookmarks are wrong:<a name="diversa" id="diversa" class ...Check them all!
Older browsers can only use name as a bookmark.No, they are not wrong, I just didn't change them. I changed the first three of them, to give them the same name and id, and after that, when I noticed it didn't work, I didn't bother to change the rest of them, as it seemed pointless anyway.
Do you think it might be a problem if some of them are changed and some not ? In that case, I can try to change them all, but I doubt it will make any difference.Netscape works with the JavaScript solution. Opera has not implemented scrollIntoView and has a bug with the bookmarks, except for Opera 8.Can I make both the javascript AND the normal anchor in one ?
I mean, if I put the javascript thing, then, what will happen in FF : will FF use the normal anchor or will it use the js ?
Then, what happens in FF if the javascript is turned of ?
I'll give it a try with netscape...Something like this:<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#xxxx" onclick="document.getElementById('xxxx').scrollIntoView(true);">bookmark</a>
In (older versions of ) Opera you will have to change the containers overflow to visible.mmm, thanks... actually, I saw that it does work in Netscape 7.0 ( the simple anchor stuff )
What do you mean by changing the containers overflow to visible ? Which containers ?
For the moment, I have overflow : auto; on my pseudo frame...onload=function() {
if(window.opera) { document.getElementById('frame').style.overflow='visible';}
}
which should allow the bookmarks to work in Opera.mmm... I tried that, and it didn't work. Moreover, it ruined my design by stretching the page...
I think I'll just stick to the normal version, and if it doesn't work, then the people just can change their browser...
anyway, thanks for your help.
