I am working on this page
http://www.acblemba.org/DYSeniors/Results.htm
The ##/## links (only the first 4 are live) fill the top iframe with the desired part of the related page in Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari(Windows).

In IE6 (I don't have IE7 or IE8 to test) all four links open the related page at the top; that is, it doesn't scroll to the #fragment anchor.

I tried replacing a simple <a target="layout" href="...#." > link with javascript
<a href="javascript:change();" >03/04</a>
<script type="text/javascript">function change(){
document.getElementById('layout').src="./httpdocs/090703AI.HTM#3"; }
</script>
with no change in behaviour: F, O, C & S work; IE6 doesn't.

Quiz:
1. is this a known problem with IE6?
2. whether known or not, can anyone suggest a cure or work-around?
Extra credit:
3. can anyone with IE7/8 tell me whether the page works as intended?

If IE7/8 work and there is no obvious fix, I may have to let IE6 go.

My design choices are somewhat limited because I am layering content on top of an externally generated page to which I can make only minor tweaks.

Thanks.

When I changed the iframe src to point to an offsite page, IE6 scrolled.
Apparently there is something about 'my' related page that prevents IE6 from scrolling.
How puzzling!

Thanks for your attention.

Problem found.
IE6 doesn't "see" named anchors at certain places inside a <TABLE>; the others do.

This has been quite interesting (to me, anyway) because researching this problem led me to a fix for another iframe-related scrolling problem

that I had seen in all browsers.

Thanks for listening!
