Don't ask why I have to support Net4.79 - I just have to. The following problem does not occur in IE 5.5<br />
<br />
Basically I have a link to a named anchor that loads in a new window, i.e.:<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"../glossary.html#course_management" onClick="javascript:glossary=window.open(this.href,'glossary','height=300,width=600,left=20,top=20,status=yes ,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');glossary.focus();return false;" target=glossary>course management system</a><br />
<br />
Then, in glossary.html I have:<br />
<br />
<td valign="top" bgcolor="white"><a name="course_management"><em>Course management system</em></a></td><br />
<br />
<br />
There are hundres of links throught this site like this. A number of things occur in Netscape 4.79:<br />
1) It goes to where its supposed to - perfect<br />
2) It goes there, but slightly below it - about an entire line<br />
3) It goes there, but half-way into the text - i.e. about 5-10 pixels?<br />
<br />
This is totally random. Any clues? Is this a known problem in Netscape 4.79?<!--content-->At least I don't like your code at all, try this one:<br />
