I am having trouble with anchor tags in netscape in that when linking to them from the same page, the actual anchor is being overshot so the text cannot be read... There is nothing tricky with it - just a normal
<a href=&quot;#anchor&quot;>link</a> and
<a name=&quot;anchor&quot;>Heading</a>.

I was just wondering if anyone had come across this problem before and had any solutions?

Thanks
 
No

<a href=&quot;#anchor&quot;>link</a> and
<a name=&quot;anchor&quot;></a>Heading.

If you try it like unicorn11 suggests and still have a problem, try this:

<a href=&quot;#anchor&quot;>link</a> and
<a name=&quot;anchor&quot;><pre> </pre></a>Heading.

For some reason, when there's nothing between the <a name=&quot;anchor&quot;> and the </a> tags, Netscape will often overshoot the mark by a couple of lines. The <pre> </pre> tags prevent this.

This is only a problem in older versions of Netscape.
