I have linked to a name attribute within the same page, and also to another page but to a specific place at that page. Everything works fine for me when using Explorer 6.0. My customer just emailed me and told me the links don't work at all as they should. He is using a very old version of Netscape, so I told him this must be another result of not being upgraded yet. (There are many things that don't turn out the way they should in his stone-age computer/browser.) However I haven't heard that the name attribute in links is so new that it doesn't work in 5-7 year old browsers. I used that same code six years ago and it worked fine. Now, I checked the links in my page in Netscape 6.2.1 and I had a similar problem as he had. The links within a page and to another page/to a specific place didn't work! But when checking pages (in the same site) I made a few weeks ago it worked. "Now this must be something wrong in the code" you think. I checked the codes and they are exactly the same on both pages. One works, one doesn't. I checked and double-checked. And again to see where I wrote anything wrong. All links are right spelled. Example: <a href="#kamork">Kammarorkester</a> goes to: <a name="#kamork">Image</a> And: <a href="kompfull.html#kamkons25">Verkinfo</a> goes to: kompfull.html/ <a name="#kamkons25">Image</a> These codes seems right to me and works in Explorer but not in Netscape. Did I do anything wrong? Another example: <a href="#toppen">Till sidans topp</a> goes to: <a name="#toppen"><h1>Kompositioner</h1></a> This code works on both pages. :confused: Has any of you noticed a similar problem? Is there a limit of how many links in a page Netscape can take before freaking out? There are tons of links in the document. Is there a limit of characters that can be in a name attribute in a link? I try to limit it to 8 chars, but some of them are up to 10 chars. Does anyone have an explanation why it works wonderfully fine in Explorer and not in Netscape? Or does Netscape have a problem with such codes when they are in table cells? I would be most happy to receive answer from anyone who can see what is wrong about this. Thank you! The page I am talking about is not official yet, but out on the net for my costumer to see. It is in Swedish. If you want to check it out the address is: [url=http://www.rolfmartinsson.com/rolfmart2/index.html]http://www.rolfmartinsson.com/rolfmart2/index.html[/url] The two pages I am talking about is: Kompositioner (not working links in NS) and Recensioner (working links in NS).
