anchors on the associated page (links are in an xml file loaded by the Flash

not occur on Mozilla Browser or Internet Explorer. These anchors do not function
in Netscape 4.8 also.

1. Select "Member services" in navigation bar
2. Select sub category "<any>"
3. Error appears

I found the bug in more link,
http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c41c.asp
None of the links with anchors to the same page dont work.
I must say this must be made a critical bug, as users would get irritated by
such a important function required for a minimal browsing exp. 
For just to browse the above URL i need to switch to IE, which bugs me above all..
Dont do this. U will end up the same way as IE is going to go down.

The link is dead, reporter do you have an updated link?

p.s. Pradeep that link doesn't work due to a coding error on the page, see Bug
179940.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
