Link to a particular row of a table Options

[Woody20]

In file Dest.htm, there is a table. In file Source.htm, I have a link, which I would like to refer to a particular row of the table in Dest.htm, meaning, that row should be visible after clicking the link (it's a long table). I tried
In Source.htm:

CODE

<a href="Dest.htm#GoHere">Link to click</a>

In Dest.htm:

CODE

<table>
<tr><td>some data</td></tr>
<tr id="GoHere"><td>Desired destination</td></tr>
...
</table>

but this doesn't work; the link goes to the beginning of Dest.htm, not the desired row. How can I make the destination show Dest.htm scrolled to the desired row?

Are you sure the page is long enough to be able to scroll down to that spot?

The destination page is many screens long; the table itself is most of the page, so it is also several screens. I want the specified row to appear near the top of the screen when the user clicks the link.

Then I don't know. Must be some problem with your markup. Can you post a link to the page?

Theoretically there could be a browser that doesn't accept an id for TR as an anchor, but the ones I've tried do.

Browser is IE4 (used in HTML Help).

Are you joking? IE4? Well, that's the explanation then. IIRC it won't go to an id, no matter where you put it. You need to use A with the name attribute. Put it around the first few words in the first cell in that row.

But I'm curious, are you talking about a CHM file? But why IE4?
