HTML Local Anchors to Bottom of Web Page Do Not Work

Q154927

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02 for Windows 95
Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02a for Windows 3.1

SYMPTOMS

If an Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) local anchor link links to the bottom of a Web page, the link only refreshes the page unless a character is placed between the HTML <A NAME="word"></A> tags at the bottom of the page.

RESOLUTION

Although most local anchor links to the <A NAME="word"></A> tags through- out a page work without placing anything between the tags, they do not work with a link to the very bottom of the page. One workaround to this behavior is to type   between the <A NAME="word"> and </A> tags.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.x. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
