NN4x and Bookmarks (on-page named anchor tags)

Netscape support is buggy on my ASP page

[pageoneresults]

Does anyone know of a workaround to get bookmarks to work in NN4x?

This is what I am currently using...

<a href="page.asp#bookmark">

I've never come across a Netscape solution. The best you can do is offer a suggestion that the use CTRL+D.

Some sites have a script that sniffs the browser - then writes a bookmark link for IE users, and urges the CTRL+D for everyone else.

Hello tedster. Actually what I'm looking to do is create page to page bookmarks, not the bookmark site feature.

[jatar_k]

then it is the same

on the page in question <a name="here"></a>

then reference it with <a href="page.html#here">click</a>

that looks like how you have it but it's right.

I know, but it does not work in NN4.78. I wonder why. Is this a known bug? Or it just doesn't work?

It works for me in NN4.61
Which version are you having a problem with?

[jatar_k]

I am stricttly a NN 4.x guy and I just tried it on one of my sites and it works.

I thought I was going nuts so I tried it again from a different site and it still works fine, NN 4.74.

and 4.79

thanks for sticky-mailing the problem page to me.

I can replicate the problem on NN4.61 and have searched for known bugs in NN4x to do with page-to-page bookmarks - can't find any :-(

My hunch is it's to do with NN4x AND bookmarks AND .asp

I'll try out a couple of ideas and get back to you

Thanks mole. I also sticky'd jatar and he provided a suggestion and that did not do the trick.

They work in every other browser I've tested, and there are many. NN4x, would you just go away and leave me alone? Please?

P.S. If you follow that link again that I sent you, you'll see that I put an "on page" bookmark section which will help the NN4 users get to the appropriate section quickly.

If any browser doesn't supports target linking (bookmarking) we can use the followin javascript.

The following will work fine only in Javascript enabled browsers.

>>>>>>>>>>>

<a name="top"></a><br>
<a onclick="window.scroll(0,0)" href="#top">
<p>(OR)</p>
<p><a onclick="window.scroll(0,y)" href="#"></p>
<p>y - can be any pixel number.</p>
