Linking inside a doc using IE

[Michael Hill]

1) I have this link like:

<a href='#A1' onclick="go_answer('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?

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>
