[RESOLVED] Problem with GET and html anchors

wc74

I am currently redoing my works website, i've decided to use a bit of php.

My problem is this, I have a page which contains a list of links, when a link is clicked php fetches a html file and loads the text into a div located below the link. The links go a fair amount down the page so when you click a link down the page the page reloads and you end up at the top of the page, I decided to try putting anchors in so that when the link is clicked the page should jump to the anchor.

The problem is a little strange, it doesn't occur in firefox only in IE6, and to further that if I click the same link more than once the anchor will actually work.

Anyway here is a link to the page that i'm having the problem with, click on the MEETING TIMES link to see the problem in action.

Any help will be very much appreciated, I have spent about 2 hours searching the net to no avail.

Hi,
Could you post your php script. It works on meeting times (IE7). Try validating your script.

The other links haven't been anchored as yet, I tend to try to get one working first then go ahead and code the others. Interesting that it works in IE7 whatever the problem M$ must have fixed it with the release of IE7, I would like to get the problem fixed for IE6 though, I know others including myself that prefer IE6 over IE7. Heres the code.

<p align="left"><a name="meeting"></a><A href="commservices.php?link=times#meeting">MEETING TIMES</A>
<?php 
		if($link=='times')
		{
		$name = "commservicestext/meetingtimes.html";
		include("striphtml.php");
		print("<div class=\"linkclicked\">");
		print("</div>");
		}
		elseif($link=='none')
		{
		$name = "";
		}
		?>
        </p>

Try placing your script on a blank page, some people have had problems with JS clashing with the anchors.

Hey dood, this worked in IE6 for me.

arrrgh, ok now I feel embarrassed. I just changed my resolution to 800 x 600 to make the page longer and it does seem to be working, I may just need to place the anchor a bit lower.

Thank you to everyone that helped. That was a few hours wasted trying to fix a problem that wasn't there hehe.
