    Linking inside a doc using IE

    1) I have this link like:

    <a href='#A1' onclick="go_ans wer('A1');">How do I find ....</a>

    then an anchor like:

    <a name='A1'></a>

    It works in Mozilla but not IE.

    What's up with that?

    You can see this at www.hulenbend.net/cgi-bin/faq.cgi

      I'm sorry. It did sound too easy a question to post. After I set back to
      look at the code I found that I need a space in the anchor name attribute
      like:

      <a name='A1'>&nbsp ;</a>

          What's the point of the "onclick" portion? Looking at your site, it
          seems like it calls a JavaScript function containing only commented out
          lines, so it seems like an entirely superfluous part of your code, and
          might somehow be interfering with the operation of the normal link.

              Nasty. A better solution might be:

              <h2><a name="A1">A1</a></h2>

              or, if you don't mind ditching support for Netscape 4 and similar obsolete
              browsers...

              <h2 id="A1">A1</h2>
