Anchors don't work in the build today.  Use the above url for an example.
Travis, I assume this is because of Web shell changes?

Hmmm, this is working for me...
My build on linux from last night still isn't working.

They don't work for me on Windows NT either.  I just updated my reference tree 
an hour ago to check that it was indeed broken and it still seems to be.  I'm 
going to dupe bug 20855 on this as move to new.

The whole "jump to anchor" thing seems to be unimplemented in the new
webshell/docshell world.
Nominating for nsbeta2.  Note that bug 36826, which was marked a duplicate of
this bug, was already [nsbeta2+], so I assume this should be too...

Anchors seem to work today in build 2000051520 (windows).

However, the files are still reloaded when jumping to anchors in the same file 
and also when doing back/forward afterwards.

This bug should be XP, no?
petersen, need to know how this is doing on today's build please.  Need to know 
results on all platforms please.

Still waiting for mac and windows builds for May 17. However, I was able to test 
the May 17 linux build (2000051712) using the url specified. The anchors are 
functioning correctly with this new build under linux.

I also checked on Mac and Windows May 16 builds (2000051609) and anchors from the 
url are indeed working properly.

hmm, this still downloads the entire page, then hits the anchor, for me on 
winnt. You're seeing an anchor jump *without* a reload?

Bug 39716 Clicking on #ref links causes document reload

So anchors do work in HTML (not in XML by the way, but there are other bugs for 
that, see bug 39715 for example) but they cause reload which breaks for example 
the TOC demo (demo #15).
Note: only <a name="foo"> links work, but not <h2 id="foo">. Try http:

//www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~fsi/links.html for example.

Doh... so this is what you get for marking bugs dup. Clicking on #ref links 
still causes doc load. Reopened that bug (thought this was going to take care of 
that too)!

The case reported by Tobias is also true, links to arbitrary HTML elements with 
id attribute set do not work (try the "Links" link for example). It works in NS 
Communicator 4.7. Should I open a new bug for that as well?

I re-opend my old bug (id="foo" links not working) since this is "verified
works-for-me" which I cannot change. See: BUG 36826
