Is there an issue with this browser accepting link jumps? For instance, you have a list of links at the top of your browser window, and then once the visitor clicks the link, it jumps down to the appropriate location on the page.
Upon visiting a site that I designed for myself, I witness some problems with that in Mozilla.
That always works just fine for me. Do you have a sample page where this behavior is happening? Also, did you download the 1.5 milestone or a nightly build?
The example page is http://www.ozarkswebsolution.com/faqg.html
I d-loaded the 1.5 milestone.
It works for me in Mozilla Firebird 0.7 (*the milestone), which is identical to the Mozilla 1.5 milestone as far as rendering goes. Try downloading another build, i.e. from a few days later and see if the quirkiness goes away.
Doesn't work for me in Firebird 0.7. Just wondering if it has something to do with the name tags which are of the type <a name="#Top">

What other method is there besides <a name=#Top"></a>?
I'm wondering whether the problem is associated with absolutely positioned divs, b/c I ran into a similar problems with IE with this and it had to with creating another div. Interesting, I'll try another build.
<a name="Top"> i.e. get rid of the hash.Originally Posted by rbutler

Your links weren't working for me either in Mozilla 1.5. John Colby has already mentioned that you should not have the hash mark in with the anchor name.
<a href="#g1">Why create this site?</a>
<a name="g1"></a>
I also noticed in my version of Mozilla that the link to the anchor never lined up with the actual anchor the way you had it coded. When I changed it by putting text between the opening/closing <a> tag it worked okay.
<a href="#g1">Why create this site?</a>
<a name="g1">Why</a>
I don't know if you realized that you didn't have anchor for your 'Top of Page' link. Under the body tag (or whatever suits your need) you can put
<body>
<a name="top"></a>
<a href="#top">Top of Page</a>
It is case sensitive in Mozilla but not IE6.

The alternative is to use the id and fragment identifier instead of the name attribute.

I'll have to go back and clean some code on that page. I did somethings on that site that looking back on it could have done differently.
Furthermore, I'm not familar with mozilla and another site that I went to had some issues with not supporting hexdecimals values from HTML, I'm thinking I have a bad install of this, which version of Mozilla is best to use? 1.5 or just firebird?
