Hi,

For some reason, I am having a problem with this anchor code (I believe it's the iframe, but the code should work)

HTML Code:

<a name="Top">&nbsp;</a>

is located in the target page and:

HTML Code:

somepage.php#"Top"

is the link in question with

HTML Code:

target="iframe"

which opens somepage.php#Top in the iframe, but it's not opening up at the top of the page, another words, it's opening half way down the page where the link is.

The page in question?
http://www.reunitemysite.com/main.php and click on the 120 x 240 Pixels link in the banner ad index. The link is opening correct in the target iframe, but it's not going to the top of the iframe page in question and like I say, I have the

HTML Code:

<a name="Top">&nbsp;</a>

in the 120x240.php page. Anyone have the solution?

Note: I guess once banners are put into that page, there wouldn't really be a need for the anchor, but for now, it would be nice to have since I don't know when things are going to pick up.

Thanks again!
Brian

I can't see any anchors in the iframe - that won't help

I've been looking at your site for a while now and I'm very confused. For me, it seems the window does in fact roll up to the top but the page doesn't open. In fact, it seems the entire iframe disappears or something. And, looking at your source code made me evan more confused.

I don't know if my browser is showing the code properly, but this is what I see.

Code:

...
<iframe width="100%" id="glu" name="iframe" onload="resize_iframe()" style=" border: 0px solid #000000" src="iframe.html"> 
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
 
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</iframe> 
<html> 
<head><title>Reunite My Site - Footer Template</title></head> 
 
<body>
...

So, almost all of your code is before the <body> tag, whereas it should be inside the <body> tag. And you have several closing tags for the table inside the <iframe> tag, whereas it should be after the <iframe> tag. It seems to me that this snippet of code should instead be looking like this:

Code:

...
<body>
...
<iframe width="100%" id="glu" name="iframe" onload="resize_iframe()" style=" border: 0px solid #000000" src="iframe.html"> 
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
...

Yeah, I noticed, but that wasn't as bad as it seemed, (it's fixed) that was because I added the html, head, body tags to my included (footer) page by accident, and removed the body tags from my main page, so that was the issue for the messy code. But I still can't figure out why when you click on the 120 x 240 pixel banners, you need to scroll up the page manually to see the page in the iframe. I have the correct anchor tag in the 120x240 page and also used the correct link code for it.

When the page loads in it starts at the top of the page but then refreshes and takes the user down the page where the our Auction Notice field is located... which is more than half way down the page. It's almost like it is behaving like an anchor.

the our Auction Notice? That is not an auction site, it's an advertising site. Maybe your eyes saw something different when you type the message...I think you meant asoulutions link.

Ok, so on to the original topic of discussion, have you found something to fix the anchor issue?

I do appreciate, even though I sounded like otherwise.

Thanks!

Why use the <a name...> at all, you don't need it. Add "id="top" to a heading or div, or even the <body> tag and you will get the same outcome w/o the extraneous coding
