Safari anchor tag not scrolling to correct position

I run a vBulletin forum and I noticed that Safari running on 10.8.2 OSX or Safari Mobile running on iOS 6.1 will not scroll to the correct anchor. This link should scroll to post #10:
http://www.southbayriders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10730&p=235955#post235955
The reason I have concluded is that the vBulletin software does not include the width and height data in the img information. If I disable images in Safari the link above will properly scroll to post #10.
I tried changing the code in vBulletin to include the width and height data, but that caused a problem with the Zoom function in browsers.
All other browsers besides Safari will scroll to the correct anchor even if img tags don't include the width and height data.

Have you tried resetting your device?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • 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>

  • Safari 5.1 not scrolling a whole screenful

    It seems that with the new version my Safari sometimes won't scroll a whole screenful when I hit the space bar or click in the scroll bar. It'll just advance a line or so. Never seen this before. Could be that my computer is under some load when this happens, but it neven happened before.

    John...
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If it's not Extensions causing this, could be a Safari third party add on. Troubleshooting help here > Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • 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.

  • IPad 2 safari dropdowns do not scroll

    I am limited to the first few options in the drop down in safari and cannot scroll through all items.  Is there a trick to this or an update? I've tried everything.

    Hmmm, sounds like it might be a software issue there. Try restoring the iPad as a new device, if the problem is still present after that then it might be a hardware problem.

  • 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!

  • Div header tag - not displaying correctly

    I thought I had resolved an issue with a div header tag, but - as per a reply in my 'text as gif' thread, possibly not!
    The header contains three images; a logo, a banner (text), and a picture of a castle.  These should display in a  line.
    When I first set it up, I realised that the castle picture was normally ending up below the other two on smaller screens etc. 
    So I changed the dims for my div container from min 760px/max 1260px, to a set width (960px).  I then rejigged the three images so the widths were within 960px, with some to spare for the spacing (total widths of the three are 900: hspacing another 20 pixels).  There is no padding/borders defined.  Therefore the total should be well within the 960 width (?).
    It looks fine on my PC (widescreen); in 3 browsers, using the restore down menu command (ie to make it not full screen), and by  using the Dreamweaver multiscreen preview (phone, tablet, smaller desktop).  It wasn't ideal (as scrolling required), but at least meant the header (and the rest of the screen) displayed correctly, ie in a horizontal line (and then sidebar - content - sidebar).
    If I set my container width much smaller, most of the screen will be green (the body) in big screens.
    If I rejig the dimensions, it's all a bit hit and miss (and why don't the current dimensions work?).
    Do I need to define the width of the header (as well as the container)?
    Help!  Thank you
    http://hertfordcarnival.org.uk/dev/Index.html

    Hi there, I started off using one big image, but it didn't look right with regards to size and placing (ie I wanted the logo on the left edge, the castle on the right edge, etc). When you say slice, what do you mean?  One image in from fireworks, and then ... ? Thanks again

Certainly don't use 'vspace' and 'hspace' to position the images. If you want to use 3 seperate images start by setting them us as one complete image then slice it into 3 images. Then use the following css to position the images side by side. #header img If the total sum of the width of the images is the same or does not exceed 960px then the images should be in a nice row side by side. They will actually sit side by side without using 'float' but you'll get a small gap between them which will be added to the sum of the width which will exceed 960px causing the third image to drop onto the next line.

  • File Download not working for anchor tags

    Hello,
    I've encountered a bug with the 4.1.31 version of Tomcat. Apparently, when
    I use an anchor tag for a file, and I click on the link, it does not show the
    file download message "Do you want to open or save this file?" with the open
    and save options. Instead, it displays the file in the browser. I know you
    could normally save this information from the browser to a file, but I need it
    to show the download message because it's easier for users to save their
    file. I'm using Internet Explorer version 6, SP2. I've also tried setting
    the "Confirm open after download" check box for file types to no avail. It
    use to work in Tomcat 4.1.18.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Can anyone pls. help me ? I tried all options from disbling firewall to uninstalling Bonjour.. But nothing works. Had I known that Apple makes such worst software I would never have bought iPhone !!!! Apple really *****!!!!!!!

  • Web fonts not showing up correctly in safari

    Hi,
    It seems that this is getting worse, but I'm finding ALOT of sites where Safari doesn't render web fonts correctly. They work fine in Firefox, but Safari is my default browser.
    Is there a trick to fixing this?
    I can even copy out the text, paste it somewhere else and it looks fine.
    thanks-
    Dave

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
    Mac 101: Font Book
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

  • Anchor tag passing "this" as a parameter not working

    managed to get it working by using onclick instead of href

  • Anchor tags are not working on internet explorer when using touch devices

    Hi,
    I have a simple anchor tag like <a href=http://www.google.com></a>
    Using a mouse there is no problem but when I use a touch device (windows 8.1/windows Phone 8.1), all that will happen when people touch it is that the link will be highlighted.
    I don't want to highlight it, I just want the link to open.
    Double clicking the link will zoom in the page. It takes several attempts tapping the link to actually open it... this is VERY frustrating.
    How can I remove this highlighting non-sense?
    I found an article that seems to indicate this was done on purpose:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2013/07/31/ie11-touch-browsing-for-today-s-web-and-beyond.aspx
    It's a total failure if you ask me and it is very frustrating to use my site on a touch device.
    Anyone has any idea on how to make links behave normally?
    Best Regards,
    Peter

    seems that it is something in SharePoint that is causing this behavior
    So you would probably be better off posting in a Sharepoint forum.  They would be more familiar with all the products involved.  This is an example where newsgroup cross-posting would be useful but it does not exist in forums.
    Otherwise, sounds like you are going to have to find the implementation involved and then devise a workaround for it.  Is there a publicly accessible example of the coding used for what you are seeing?  You could use the Developer Tools (or View
    Source) to try to look at it yourself.
    For a guess it may involve Active Scripting.  If the link can be used even if Active Scripting is disabled you could achieve that result simply by changing the security level or zone that the site is regarded with.
    BTW with your example link above I have the opposite problem.  I can't touch it to try to select it without launching it.  Here's a workaround for that:  select a word before the link, use the selection's wheels to extend it to include
    the link, then reduce it to include only the link, then, I can use press and old on the selection without launching the link.  (In fact since I always leave press and hold disabled I used my pen with its right-click barrel button to see the selection's
    menu though if I use my pen's barrel button, I don't need to make the selection to see just a reduced menu which would be sufficient to use the link.)  In any case, I imagine that just as I can do a press and hold on the selected text of
    the link without launching it you may just as easily be able to do a press and hold to see the selection's menu to allow you to launch its link.

  • Safari is not loading pages correctly or even not at all. Help please!

    So my Safari is not loading pages correctly, making some have just plain text with no images, and others partially loaded with no images or no video.
    Some pages, after trying to refresh, completely refuse to load and say that Safari can't find the server. These pages work on firefox, which is also on the same computer and what I am having to use to type this currently.
    I have already reset Safari, as well as disabled extensions (which I didn't have any) and neither has fixed the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
