Hi
Recently I have updated Windows XP with SP2, SP3 and IE7. Footnotes previously linked thus: <A HREF=#ref13_71>[71]</A> and anchored thus: <A NAME=#ref13_71>[71]</A> will now no longer provide a return to the place in text from which they were triggered, but automatically switch back to the beginning of the document each time. Return from the footnote usually pauses for a split second at the correct place in text before switching to the beginning of the document. I have tried inserting rel and rev elements, but without success. Is this the right thing to do? Please suggest actual format if recommended. Escrimeur |

Quote both values and remove the hash from name="".

Hi Pandy
Thank you again for your reply. I have tried "" viz. <A HREF="#ref13_71">[71]</A> and <A NAME="ref13_71">[71]</A> and other permutations which you seem to be suggesting, in both link and anchor and in link or anchor, but without success. I am not a programmer or Web designer as I am sure you are aware: simply trying to produce a prototype which works, which can be handed over to a proper developer if it is deemed worthy of implementation. Having upgraded my Windows software, I believe this footnote function is the only one which has become disabled. I looked at the information on HTML 4 which you suggested and I have tried to understand your suggestion, but I may be getting it wrong. Please forgive me for bothering you further, but if you could actually write the elements out it would be better for a "bear of very little brain" like me. Should I be putting a DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC heading in as well, and if so, which one? Best wishes escrimeur |

Please see the FAQ entry What is a DOCTYPE? Which one do I use?
