62930 - Mozilla Misses the <A>nchor Tag

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38280

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[jay garcia]

Win98SE Mozilla 0.6 NS 6.0

1. Please click on the (text) link "Sanyo" near top of page and you will
   jump to the Sanyo group. You will observe that the Sanyo logo is clipped
   off. 

2. If you then click on the Sanyo Logo you will be transported to a
   simple data page ( more table errors here, but they are mostly cosmetic)

3. Now return to the previous page BY USING THE RETURN LINK not the
   'back button' please.

The error should be apparent. Any company using multiple <A>nchors on
its pages is going to have problems.

In win build 12-13-04 this is a WFM.

Jay, if you give the browser enough time you'd see that it finally does resolve
to the named anchor.

Doing a quick check of the source, I would suggest using a validator (like
http://validator.w3.org).

I also noticed that there is some weird use of javascript.  I do not pretend to
be a master at JS, but some just looks wrong.  An JS sourced to an image file
not a js file... end tags like </</script>, etc.

Jay after fixing your markup errors (what I think is causing the delay), and you
still see this in a current build, please reopen.  Thanks. :-)

Marking WFM.

Build 121404 - No change, <a>nchor still overshoots the image as previously.

Site is not mine so I have no control over the programming. This site WFM in all
versions of Communicator, just not Mozilla or 6.0

Okay.
Now we need to figure out why on just this page why the named anchor is not
working for you...

Jay, do you want to figure out what on this page causes mozilla not to find the
named anchor by making a testcase? :-)

If not, i'll do it sometime next week.

Maybe you're not grasping the bug. Clicking on a text link DOES move to the
<a>nchor location but it moves PAST the intended location by several pixels. In
other words, if you access the site/page in Communicator and click on a text
link it moves to the location of the associated image which will be 100% in view
at the top of the page. Using Mozilla or 6.0 it moves PAST the image and the
image is not in view.
