Href anchor tags not working

I am trying to add anchor tags into a webpage to enable us to link to specific sections of a rather long page.
I am using <a name="name"> which works in Chrome, Safari and IE, however in Firefox, it is constantly reloading the page.
An example of this is here http://www.sippcentre.co.uk/infocentre/Article/news-views-december-13#soft-closed
Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry, I thought this was just a message board for all types of queries.
The tag has been coded with the following:
<div style="font-size: 1.8em; color: #c1002b;"><a name="soft-closed"></a>Soft-closed funds</div>

Intrapage anchor tags not working within an iFrame

Intrapage anchor tags are no longer within an iFrame in Firefox 4.0. It works on all the other major browsers. Is there a workaround for this bug?

Anchor tag not working on touch device

Hi,
I'm having a problem on one of my SharePoint sites.I add following anchor tag to my page
<a href="https://www.google.com">test<a>
When using the mouse there is no problem but when using a touch device (windows 8.1/windows Phone 8.1) there is a problem with tapping the link. When you tap on a link, it will highlight the link rather than opening the link. It takes repeated attempts to
make the link work.
This makes the site unusable on Windows Phone 8!
When I use Chrome to access my site on my windows 8 tablet... everything works as expected!!!
I have another SharePoint site that uses the same base template (OSLO) and is quite similar but that doesn't have the problem. As you can imagine, comparing two SharePoint sites for this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Has anyone experienced this and/or knows the solution?
Best Regards,
Peter
EDIT: if anyone runs into this issue... I worked arround the problem by adding a javascript to the onclick event that will navigate to the url. It seems the javascript does execute, whereas the href itself is ignored on touch screens. By setting href and
onclick on each anchor I'm hoping to avoid any downsides for desktop users. It is a hack at best... so i would still like to hear it if there's another way.

Hi,
I add the anchor tag into the page using SharePoint designer 2013 and test in my Windows Phone, it does work.
If add the link from my content editor web part or from ribbon, two clicks or more would be required.

Anchor tags not working in FF

Hello, I am new to website design and creation and I am having a rather weird problem. I originally designed my website using Google Chrome (which I will not do again). My website works fine in Chrome but certain links do not work in Firefox or Internet Explorer. When I attempted to re-create the problem on JSFiddle, there was none! Here is that link: http://jsfiddle.net/willwsharp/7S8LV/1/
My error still persists however, so I must conclude that I am doing something incorrect in the Firefox browser. Thanks for any help in advance, I really appreciate it!

I changed the z-indexes and it works now!

ORACLE tags not working after 1.5.1 patch

I have some logic in my template the looks up information from some Oracle tables. This logic worked fine in 1.5.0, however, after applying the 1.5.1 patch it does not perform the Oracle logic, but shows the Oracle code as HTML on the page. Here is the code in question: (This is not the entire code, but one HTML TD that comes before the Oracle code, and one HTML TD that comes after it)
<TD align="center" valign="top"><A
href="/pls/portal/PORTAL.home"><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihome.gif" alt="Home" border="0"></A></TD>
<ORACLE>
BEGIN htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihelpl.gif" alt="Help" border=0'), 'center');
END;
</ORACLE>
<TD align="center" valign="top"><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ilogout.gif" alt="Logout" border="0"></TD>
This is what displays on the web page:
BEGIN htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '>

Your removal of functionality in a bug fix has broken a production application for us. This does not seem like something that should have been done with a "patch"
I have just read all that I can find on "shortcuts" and am not finding what I need.
Here is what we are doing:
We are using RoboHelp for our help content. We have a help icon and a help link on the header of the page. This is defined in our template. We have to have the name of the module (Page Alias) to link the page being run to the help content for that page. Since you do not have a system variable for page name or page alias, I have had to put this information into an Oracle table. I was looking that up with a function within the Oracle Tags.
Can I create a shortcut that would create the following code pl/sql code into a PL/SQL function body:
BEGIN
htp.tableData(htf.anchor2('javascript:help_openTopic(''/insitehelp/Insite_Help.htm'', ''' || pkg_insite_general.help_link(v('APP_ID'), v('APP_PAGE_ID')) || ''')', '', '', '', '><IMG src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#ihelpl.gif" alt="Help" border=0'), 'center');
END;
and call this shortcut where this help icon needs to appear like:
<TD align="center" valign="top">
"CALLHELPWITHICON"
</TD>
I have done the above, but it does not work. What am I doing wrong, how can I get this to work? We have had to remove our help icons because of this patch.
I thank you so for your research on this.

Struts tag not working with Jbo Tag-BUG??

Hi
I am developing application using Struts with BC4J and encountered this problem.
In a JSP page if I have <jbo:DataScroller> tag and <html:cancel /> button, the button is not working.
If I remove the datascroller tag cancel button works fine (the way it should).
Not sure why this is happening, can Jdev team look into this.
Thanks

I am using Muse v7.1 Build 329 anchor links not working

Hi
I am using Muse v7.1 and have found that anchor links from buttons and from text boxes fail to work in IE v10 but all work fine with Chrome.
I have seen comments from others that if I use a space in the code it will work but the whole point of Muse is that I don't need to code in Dreamweaver.

Hi
I have uploaded the html output to http://www.cloud-online.co.uk/index.html
The links that were not working locally in IE seem to be working OK when on a server.
I had only been testing the results locally until now. Attached are the output from the Muse file.

ANCHOR LINKS NOT WORKING!...STILL :(

Well another Muse update has come out and to much disappointment the same issues still exist with anchors. They do not work in Safari 6 running Mountain Lion, or iOS. Anchors in iOS have been an issue since the Muse Beta days... so I am now starting to doubt a fix for anchors in Safari.
What is so frustrating is how an addition to the "Hyper link" Menu that allows for the downloading of files has made its way in, yet a bug in the exported Javascript file from muse that controls the scrolling of anchors has yet to be resolved.

This problem should be fixed! Im using Anchors too in a vertical scroll page ive been working on for quite some time. The idea was to make it suiteable for not only safari, firefox etc but also ios devices. Now the whole site is unusable and since im doing this for a client my job is at stake. I went from dreamweaver and wordpress since i thought muse was a great tool concidering my background in visuals. I have also convinced others to convert to muse... quess i shouldnt. This problem or Bug seems to be here to stay. I've seen on the forum, several times, that a the Muse team are working on a fix but nothing is happening!
Now with the new release i was sure that this bug would dissapear in ios and Mountain Lion, but as desmo848 said... nothing.
Can the muse team give us an approximate answer on when its likely that this will be fixed? I have waited for a long time now and maybe i should just give up, leave muse and rebuild everything in another software.
Perhaps you could provide us with a temporary workaround, if there's one... some code.. until this is solved?

CFQUERYPARAM tag not working in GROUP BY clause

I am getting an error whenever I put a CFQUERYPARAM tag in a
GROUP BY clause. I saw on another message board someone was having
a similar problem with the ORDER BY clause
Here is a sample of what my code might look like
select x, y, z from abc
group by <cfqueryparam value="x"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_float">
Here is the error I receive.
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-00979: not a
GROUP BY expression
Any insight?

The cachedwithin and cachedafter functions store the query
results in the server's RAM. That means, while it's cached,
whenever you run it, you get the cached result instead of going to
the database to run it again. This increases speed of course, but
if the data changes during the cache period, you have accuracy
problems.
It does not create memory issues. In the administrator you
reserve a certain amount of memory for query caching. If you exceed
that amount, the last query in pushes the first query out, or
something like that.
With regards to what you are trying to do about binding
variables in your group by clause, that's not what cfqueryparam was
designed for. It was designed for
where clauses (where this = <cfqueryparam etc>
or insert queries (insert into my table (field) values
(<cfqueryparam>
and things like that.
You are trying to use it for something other than what it was
designed for, which explains why it's not working for you.

ITunes Explicit tag not working correctly

Hello, I have a problem with manually added 'explicit' tag in iTunes. iTunes show tag correctly near the song, but there is no red 'E' label in the ''now playing'' box.
How can I fix this problem?
I tried to re-add a song into the library, it's not helps.
I think, that this is the different tags in the file, how can I check the second tag? Maybe someone have a script to manually add that tag to AAC file?

Same for me. I don't know why that happens. I restarted my Macbook, quit iTunes, and it still did not work.

In Web.xml welcome file tag not works

Hi All ,

but when use jsp page without to having any property it works.
what the problem with me
Thanks

Hi Frank
Thank you for your reply.
This is how I registered the session filter in web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>SessionFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.avery.view.filter.SessionFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SessionFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*.jsf</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
I'll try to use phaselisenter as you suggested.
Also, one more thing please, in the session filter, I have something like this.
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
System.out.println("JF--- Calling the Filter");
if (request instanceof HttpServletRequest) {
HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request;
HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse)response;
HttpSession session = httpRequest.getSession();
String url = httpRequest.getPathTranslated();
String path = httpRequest.getContextPath() + httpRequest.getServletPath();
if (httpRequest.getRequestURI().equals(path+"/Login")) {
System.out.println(" the request path is" + httpRequest.getRequestURI().toString());
session.setAttribute("WELCOME", Boolean.TRUE);
chain.doFilter(request, response);
else if (session.getAttribute("WELCOME") == null){
httpResponse.sendRedirect(path+"/Login");
else {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
else {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
Do you think it looks right ?
thanks

MenuBar tag not working?

I finally got FB4L working on Fedora 6. Now I am trying some
sample applications. I managed to get a small test application
working with a label tag. Compiling and viewing in FireFox went
smoothly.
Now I took the next step: the MenuBar tag. This one is not
working well. I used the sample code of
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/controls/MenuBar.html
I do not get a menubar, but a "textbox" with the content of
my XML text as it appears in my source code.
Anyone else has more luck with this MenuBar tag?
I suppose we can post these kind of bugs as the FB4L is still
alpha?
Regards,
Frank

The problem is not with Flex Builder, it's with the sample :)
In the menubar MXML tag, you need to specify the labelField
property. Otherwise, the menubar does not know what to display. Use
this and it should work:
<mx:MenuBar id="menubar" labelField="@label"
dataProvider="{myMenuData}"/>

Html 5 audio tag not working

Hi, I am trying to create a web page that links to an audio file. I have added the <audio> tag which works in my Safari browser on my Mac but does not work on the i-phone. If I save the page by bookmarking and adding to my Home Screen I have more success. This is not a desirable option.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Glenn

well for anyone else.
my html was fine. in fact the server nginx was returning the wrong content-type and so i had to add the MIME types into my nginx config file.
