    Outmoded tags?

    billzant Community Member
      Dear Forum,

      I think the problem is that I using outmoded tags

      Using this code

      <a name ="#1">One</a>
      <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
      <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
      <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
      <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
      <a href= "#1">test back to one</a>

      in internet explorer the page jumps back to the label one, but in firefox this doesn't work.

      Soemtimes homesite gives me an error message.

      Can you help?

      Hope you are keeping well,

      All the Best

          Try switching your name to just "1" instead of "#1" or try changing your link to "##1". # is used as a symbol for going to those named anchors and probably confuses Firefox. Your tags are fine otherwise - I use them all of the time.

            Dear Sperlock,

            Thanks for this.

            So the problem was syntax. Unfortunately the red warning didn't say this and I was using IE7 so it seemed to work.

            I will change my site accordingly.

            Thanks again.

            Hope you are keeping well,

            All the Best

              yeah, you do not want the # when defining the anchor name, but you do want it in the link to that anchor.
