Anchor not working in Firefox

grahamor

Hi, i have a link on a page :

<a href="#whatsIncluded" class="whatsIncluded">Whats Included ?</a>

then further down the page i have :

<a name="whatsIncluded"></a>

When i click the link in IE6 or IE7 it jumps down to the anchor but it doesnt do this in Firefox

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Works fine for me using FF.

What's your sites URL?

have you possibley defined it twice and it doesn't know which one to go to ?

Thanks for the replys

Confound : its an internal site so i cant post the link, sorry.

I think this was occuring because i didnt have any text between these tags

<a name="whatsIncluded"></a>

i changed it to

<a name="whatsIncluded">text</a>

and now it works.

Thanks again

Glad you figured it out! One small tip is if you don't want to have text in the named anchor link, add a non breaking space. Do something like:
[PHP]<a name="whatsIncluded"> </a>[/PHP]
That way the link will work but you won't have to add text to it if you don't want to.

I don't see this in my page which doesn't have text between the tags. I works for me in Windows using Firefox 2.0.0.6, IE 7, Safari 3.0.3 and Opera 9.23. Test page attached (HTML file renamed to .txt as html files are not permitted attachments).
