[PHP] anchor # not working?

2001-03-04 Thread andrew

hi folks!

I've got a baffling, but probably simple problem (the worst kind)

In my index.php page, I'm dynamically generating links like this:
http://localhost/news.php#1


When I click the link, the url string get's passed in, and looking at the
source of the news.php page shows:

a href="#1"/a 

about half-way down.. but the page doesn't align with the anchor tag.

I assume PHP doesn't do anything funky?

Can anyone see what I've overlooked?

tia!
andrew

Change this to:

a name="1"/a

2001-03-04 Thread andrew

thanks for the feedback, gents, but it's not working :/..

I changed to this, as suggested:

 a name="1"/a

actually, here is a snippet of the function I'm using the generate the link:

a href=\"news.php#$row[0]\"h5...more/h5/a

and the subsequent anchor on the next page

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
a name=\"$row[0]\"/a
trtdh3$row[2]/h3/td/tr
trtdh4$row[3]/h4/td/tr
}

I've verifeid that $row[0] is printing the exact same content on both
pages... quite odd that it's not working.

TIA,
andrew

maybe faulty memory on my part, but i think I've seen something similar
(i.e. "a name" is flakey inside tables).

play with putting a name ../a within your tr or h3 tags.
