I am using Linux Mint, and its chromium web browser. When I used Firefox; and after using a weblink to another page on my site (example: <A HREF="INSIDE HELP.HTML" STYLE="COLOR:ORANGE">HEARING</A>), it would always return to the departure line of the the first HTML page.
However, in chromium, it returns to the top of the first page. Is there any way that I can correct this, to mimic Firefox's actions? |

I don't know why that differs between browses and pages. I've wondered about that myself. Not related, but your link is incorrect. URLs can't contain spaces. They must be URL encoded. Like so. CODE INSIDE%20HELP.HTML But for many reasons it's better to avoid spaces in file names to begin with. You can use hyphen or underscore as a word separator instead. |

after using a weblink to another page on my site Does this only happen on your own pages? If so, maybe someting else on your pages might be interfering. (My Chromium-based Windows browser returns to the previous page's departure line, just like my other browsers.) |

Many modern browsers mend mistakes like that, but probably not all of them and I have no idea how search engines handle it. So better do it right. Broken links are dead ends. |

I think they are dynamic pages. It irritates me and in fact I've planned to ask about it myself, but never got around to it. |

THIS WILL EITHER OPEN A NEW TAB, OR A NEW WINDOW; DEPENDING ON HOW THE BROWSER IS CONFIGURED. |

Well, that's a solution, but it's not the answer.
