Details

Internal anchors on a page, are not working. I suspect this is only happening on dynamically generated pages. The URL listed is a page assembled with SSI and has <a name="top"></a> in the head section. When you click on the "top" link at the bottom of the page (<a href="#top">Top</a>) the page does not move. This problem has also been identified on the following dynamically generated pages: http://www.caribbeantraders.net/products.cfm (the links running across the top and bottom of the page are internal links and are not working) http://mathgoodies.iqthost.com/cgi-bin/homework_help.cgi (the "Post Message" link does not work) also, this page: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/release-notes/m18-detail.html - I am not sure how this page has been assembled, but the internal links (such as for Win 32 Installation instructions) are not working. (however, pasting in the complete URL in an empty window location bar works.) Changing <a name="....> to <a id="....> does not work either. On static HTML pages the internal links seem to work fine. Example: http://www.wise-women.org/indexold.html .
Please scratch the preceeding comment re: dynamically generated pages. Dynamically generated or not, internal anchors are not being recognized at ALL. More examples: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-positioning-970131.html http://www.dynacraftgolf.com/clubmag/index.cfm
Summary: Internal anchors are not recognized on dynamically generated pages → Internal anchors are not recognized

Build ID: 2000101014 also Build ID: 2000101014 EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: when user clicks on an link such as <a href="#xxxx">..</a> to go to another location within the same page that is indicated by <A NAME="xxxx"> then the page should move to that location. CURRENT BEHAVIOR: On all the pages listed above, this is not happening. User clicks on an "internal" link; the page does not move. INTERNAL LINKING IS NOT WORKING. This behavior is reproducible on among other pages, the documentation at the W3C and Mozilla.org's own pages.

Verified dupe, as the fix for 56285 was checked into the trunk on Oct. 18, so it would still be visible on an Oct. 10th build.
