Hi,
I am trying to figure out the anchor tag issue with IE7 (works
fine in IE6, Firefox) which jumps to the top of the page. The html
code is as below :

<h1>
<a id='sh3' name='sh3'>
<span sectionHeader"><strong>Test</
strong><strong> yahoo dev api made public </strong></span><br />
</a>

</h1>

Accessing the page with http://www.domainname.com/test.aspx?id=asfdasdaf#sh3
doesnt seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks,
Sam

What about just

<h1 id='sh3'>Test yahoo dev api made public</h1>

That's enough (unless you still care about old browsers like NN4).

Please use either example.com or - even better - give a real URL of your
own. The code given above is not enough for troubleshooting.

I think you've discovered the relatively unknown bug where pages named
asfdasdaf never work properly. Are you sure the domain name in this
example is correct ?

Initially, I tried "<h1 id='sh3'>" and it doesnt seem to work. And,
the name attribute with a tag was added for NN4.
the domainname is psuedo and also the ID.

Can you publish the page and provide a real URL ? I just checked one of
my pages with <h2 id='image'> and positioning works correctly with IE7.
There must be something else wrong but it is hard to determine from your
post.
