KFW> Try eliminate the </a> and see if it works. Good luck If the page is written in XHTML, that won't work - I had a bunch of layout problems in a page that wouldn't resolve until I realized I had unclosed anchor tags - basically for a page to validate in XHTML, every tag must always be paired with a closing tag. I don't know what will resolve Michael's problem - I'm just pointing this out because I think it's a bad idea to write bad code in order to try to resolve a browser glitch on a now-obsolete browser version. (I mean, you will fix the IE 5.5. problem only to end up with other problems on standards-compliant browsers). I would like to point out that XHTML should be coded as <a id="anchor"> rather than <a name="anchor"> - since older browsers won't recognize that, the cross-browser compliant coding should be <a name="anchor" id="anchor"></a>. The problem with IE 5.5. could also be with the use of the word "top", as that may be a reserved word - I have had similar issues with earlier versions of IE. Basically "_top" is used to specify the document location property, and it's possible that IE recognizes, and reserves, "top" as well - I don't know, but if in fact that is the anchor giving the problem, try naming it "fudge" or something and see whether it works. -Abigail ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
