I am attempting to create <A HREF> links to <A NAME> targets in a series
of extremely wide web pages composed of tables with text and images
sitting side by side. This is a failure since both Netscape and
Explorer seem to assume that <A NAME> anchors target part of a vertical
web page, where all that is needed is for the window to advance to the
first character or whitespace after the target. In a horizontal page,
this means that each link moves the window horizontally just enough to
expose the beginning of the area I'm trying to target, leaving the rest
unexposed to the right.
Trying to set the <A HREF> to target table cells or graphics in order to
get it to align correctly doesn't seem to work. What needs to be done ?

Redesign the page so it doesn't scroll horizontally?

If you're at all concerned with usability, you'll be redesigning it
eventually. It may as well be now!
If you're not concerned with usability, then just leave it how it is,
"broken" links and all.

You can write a function with javascript to scroll either to a position (in
pixels) or a distance (in pixels, too) to the left or to the right side.
Then call this function instead of a link to an anchor. There is no way to
acess an anchor horizontally.

But be aware that this is very unlikely to work correctly on any browser or
version other than the one used to design the page.

This appears to be a limitation on the part of current browsers. Have
you filed bug reports to the ones that accept them?

Well it will work on IE 4+, Netscape 4+, Mozilla, Opera... as long as
Javascript is turned on. That'll be about 98 percent of installed browsers
out there.
With a nonscript-fallback (<a href="#anchor"
onClick="scroll function('scrol lvalue'); return false">) and an appropriate
use of CSS you can also make sure text-only browsers and search engines are
supported, too.

Where did you get this 98% statistic? Others disagree:

The Javascript qualification alone drops it down to 86%, according to them.

Hi folks
I built up a small website which is designed for 800x600 display. Runs just
fine in this resolution but if you have a system in 1024 or 1280 pixels
wide, the site just "sticks" in the upper-left corner of the browser window.
So I'm trying to keep it horizontally centered whatever screen resolution
you are set in. I do not want to deal with table cells, just CSS.
I think that I must have a three column DIV layout with the...

I've got a grid that uses paging and displays a maximum of 10 records

Sometimes the fields have a lot of data in them and the datagrid takes
up way too much horizontal space. I've tried setting the height and it
doesn't do anything. I can set the width to some very large number
like 3000px and that works ok, but it's a waste when the data doesn't
require that much space.
Is there a way to limit the height of the grid or of...

However, I need the header to scroll horizontally (not vertically)
