On a web page containing tables with links to other tables further down the
page, clicking the link does not cause the window to scroll down to the table
pointed to by the link.

Copy this HTML code to a file to see the problem occur:

      	font:normal 68% verdana,arial,helvetica;
      	color:#000000;

This is not a bug. The anchors are defined with <a name="something">, not <a

something. Thanks.
