Michael, I don't know why you're having problems with name anchors, but I do not believe it has anything to do with IE 5.x.
I use named anchor jumps in http://emmitthouse.com/menu.shtml throughout the page and have tested it in IE 5.5 on a P150 and IE 5.01 on a P120 - as well as IE 6.x on my own Athlon XP 1600+. The jumps are inside dropdown nav lists throughout the page and also in a button at the bottom of the page. The links inside the nav-dropdowns jump to "#topofpage" and the one for the bottom button jumps to "#top". It was an oversight that I had two different named anchors placed one-after-the-other, but both of them work in all versions of IE that I test with. Most of the sites I code are predominately '.shtml' pages and all have named anchors inside the pages. I've never experienced any of the problems you describe. I don't know if it makes a difference, but all my testing is usually done from Win98SE (until I can repartition and reload Linux on my 'workhorse. :) Cheers, Tom At 07:39 PM 11/30/2002 +1300, michael ensor wrote:
. . . Unfortunately about 70% of visitors are still IE5 so I cannot ignore the problem, I will try the XHTML route but it seems that IE 5.5 is 'choking' on the # symbol when it is parsing an .shtml page.
