Named anchors not working appropriate anymore

I am in the middle of developing a website for mobile use with named anchors to navigate through the page. Today I received a FireFox 3.6.10 update and since then it is not working anymore. I use for the anchor and <a href= "#anchorname">go to my anchor</a>for the link. In FireFox 3.6.10 you have to select the named anchor twice, because at first click the page is being reset to the top position. Only after clicking another time the url is directed to the anchor. This problem is only present in FireFox 3.6.10, I have tested on older versions and other browsers and there my page is functioning as expected.

somewhere the layout for the anchor i provided was filtered, i will post it here again with spaces between the characters used. Remove these to get the real code:
anchor:

Named Anchors not working in Safari

Has anyone found a work around for named anchors not working in Safari?
For example:
<http://www.macbenimble.com/links.html#browsers>
Would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any info re this?
hollie

That particular page fails the w3c validator: "This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!" Safari is one of the least forgiving of browsers for code that is not correctly written to standards. You might want to put your pages through the validator and look at the list of generated errors.
Named anchors do work in Safari, for example is this web site faq.

Named Anchors not working in Apple Mail

Hi... we have an HTML Email Newsletter. About 2 months ago the named anchors (links) from the top to different parts of the email stopped working right. For years, named anchors would simply go to the section of the email that you desired. The location of the anchor would appear at the top of the email window. Recently, the links have still worked, but Apple Mail would put the location at the bottom of the email, requiring the user to scroll down to see the content. And even more recently, now we have to double-click the link at the top to get it to work, and still incorrectly.
At first, this seemed to only not work in system 10.6. But now it's working the same way in 10.5. I am surprised a web search hasn't found anyone else with this problem. It affects not only our emails, but any email that has a link from the top of the email to any other part of the email.
Is this just a bug in Apple Mail or is there a fix? Thanks in advance!

I have exactly this same problem - anchors now move the cursor so that the desired text is just off the bottom of the message window, and one has to scroll to see it.
This is obviously an error - it is inconsistent with all web / anchor behavior I am familiar with.
What's going on?????

Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

I'm having the same problem. I have a 4th gen 32GB iPod Touch, and since upgrading to iOS6, iMessage has been nothing but buggy. It will work for an hour or so, and then randomly stop working as it won't send or receive messages. There's nothing wrong with my wifi, because that's the same as it was before. I really hope someone knows something to fox this problem. Some people use iMessage for good reasons - it needs to be a reliable messaging service like it was in iOS5.

Links using anchors not working properly to some people

on this site:
http://www.thevpp.ca
I used anchors to link the show ads on either side of the page to the appropriate section of the show page. This works perfectly in Safari, Firefox (on mac) and IE (on PC).
Our client and one other person have complained that the link to "GodSpell" opens "Heart & Soul" in the centre of the page instead of GodSpell, but I cannot duplicate this. I can't find out what browser / version / OS they're using as they don't know.
Clicking on the GodSpell image on the home page takes you to shows.html#b which is GodSpell. (Heart & Soul is shows.html#a)
They say the other show links work perfectly. I thought initially their browser might not support anchors, but if the others work, then I don't get why this one doesn't.
Is there a better way to link these images than using anchors? Could the problem be that the anchor links are within a ProjectVIII scroller?

A few code errors to check:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thevpp.ca%2Fshows.html%23b
I see several problems. In Firefox 12, the only links that work consistently for me are "Love Letters" and "Sinatra". If I use the custom scrollbar and go all the way down to "Sinatra," the links don't trigger anything. Same thing happens in Chrome.
For an alternate approach, I created a named anchors demo (without tables). You'll see there is ample space between each of the named anchor regions (view page source to see the code).

Anchor Not Working?

I don't have a clue why my anchor to jump to reference 1 is
not working?
http://www.anndruffel.com/articles/ufo/jamesmcdonaldsufofiles.htm
Can't figure it out I cut and pasted it and changed it about
10 times?
Thanks.

Below are the results of checking this document for XML
well-formedness and
validity.
1.. Error Line 12 column 28: value of attribute "id"
invalid: "1" cannot
start a name.
<a href="#" name="1"
id="1">whatever</a>It is possible that you
violated the naming convention for this attribute. For
example, id and name
attributes must begin with a letter, not a digit.

Named destination not working in Firefox 3.6.3, other browsers are ok

I've added several named destinations to a PDF. Links to the named destinations within the PDF are working correctly in IE8, Safari and Chrome, but not Firefox 3.6.3. (PC/Windows 7)
With Firefox all the links to named destinations take you to the first page of the PDF instead of to the named destination within the PDF. I've tried changing the format of the links (a href="http://www.anysite.com/mypdf.pdf#location1") instead of (a href="http://www.anysite.com/mypdf.pdf#nameddest=location1"). No success with Firefox. Other browsers are fine.
I'd be interested if anyone else has had a similar issue and whether there are any successful workarounds/solutions.
Thanks a bunch.

The PDF contaning the named destinations was created with Acrobat 9.3.2 Professional.
Since the links to the named destinations are working fine with IE, Chrome and Safari, I'd tend to think this is a Firefox issue, but welcome other ideas.

USB seems to not work properly anymore with Mountain Lion

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Tried to transfer pictures from my DSLR camera but it cannot be detected anymore. My external hard disk does not work anymore as well. Can anybody please help? Thanks.

Open System Information (Applications > Utiities) and select the USB entry in the left column. The top right pane will show all the USB busses on your Mac. If the Mac can see the camera and external hard drive then they should be shown under one of the busses. So do you see them? If no, are they connecting directly to the Mac and not via some sort of USB hub?

Anchors not working properly when site is iFramed

I've just updated Muse (version 4.0). I've always used anchors in previous sites (with previous Muse versions) and iFramed these sites (for my company's needs). Well, my last site, built with 4.0 has all anchors working well after exported. BUT, once I iFramed it, ALL anchors seem disabled. Would anyone know why? Any workarounds?
Thanks!

Hi Bose,
When I use NOBINPT = ' '. then some of my screens get supressed so that I can't populate data on those screens. It's only when i use 'X' my BDC works. But as explained earlier this is not working when I schedule it as background job.
Regards,
Firoz.

Multi-touch trackpad is not working correctly anymore

My multi-touch trackpad is not working - it stops working after the first 10 seconds.
It is since today.
After reboot it works for the first 10 seconds - then it is like it needs to have a few seconds for reaction.
Any idea for the permanent blocking of the cursor?

That's really bizarre! I've been experiencing the same problems. Today my three/four finger multitouch gestures stopped working altogether! Nothing seemed to resolve the problem (restart, shut down, etc).I did however follow your advice of creating a new user account and logging in to see if multitouch works...low and behold, it worked! I then logged off and signed back into my primary user account and multitouch continued to work! This must be a software issue (I'm guessing). I just deleted the temporary user account and everything seems to be working fine. I set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow - I'll see if they have any further suggestions.
Thanks!

3.1.3 firmware, iPhone 3G headset not working properly anymore

Situation:
iPhone 3G 16GB, Firmware 3.1.3.
Updated the other day, and now my apple headphones have stopped working properly. Basically, the pause button on the mic is now intermittent and the same button won't pause iPod functions.
If I restart, it sometimes works OK for a little while then will stop working again. I have also noticed issues with some of the calls that I make being "silent" i.e. they connect, but when I speak the other end can't hear the voice.
If I make the call to my own phone, it usually seems to work OK, which is typical!
Anyone else having the same problem?
The funny thing is that it has to be something that Apple should be responsible for...I use a MacBook, Snowleopard OS, iPhone, and all original cables. Everything is patched to the latest versions and all the hardware is in A1 condition.

I think there may be something wrong with my headphone jack/Bose headset combo. It works fine on my wife's 3GS. The Apple one briefly did not work on mine, then started working. I did the painful restore as new user and it still does not work. Time to go to Bose/Apple.

Anchors not working on iOS single page site

Anchors are working perfectly with the desktop version of the site and with the iphone 5 preview within Muse, however … when testing the site by bublishing through business catalyst (on an actual iPhone 5) - tapping menu items that link to anchors futher down the page don't work.
I'm currently using release version: v5.0, build 704, CL 775986 (don't know if that helps?)
The business catalys site is viewable at: http://xtrashiny01.businesscatalyst.com

Put a textbox on top of button and try sym.$("textButton").html("<a ref='mailto:[email protected]'>Send e-mail</a>");
Works fine!
