Okay..I've a question about named anchors on a local file.
I have a journal file which for each day, I place an anchor with a
name being a numerical date (like <a name="20030805">Aug 5, 2003</a>)
for each day. These are also contained in some <ul> and <li> related
tags.
I want to look at the file locally, so I open the file in my IE
browser, which works fine.
I want to go to a specific day, so I used the previously listed URL
for the local file, plus a #20030805 at the end...get an error about
not finding the specific file (which lists as the whole path, the
filename, #, and the anchor)....
I don't have access to a web server at the moment to see if it works
fine from an actual web site, so I don't know if this is a local file
vs remote file issue.
I try the same thing in Mozilla, and I have no problems at all on
getting to a specific section of the document.
I thought maybe I needed some kind of an id attribute as well, but
this didn't work either.
Is there a setting I need to set for this to work in IE?
Was this disabled for security reasons or something?
Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
..
..
..
After playing arounds some more, I find trying the same filename with
the file:/// prefix added, the anchor seems to work correctly..
Is this a bug or maybe a feature? Is it suppose to do this?
