Bookmark Problems in NS4.x

[Whit]

Hi - I'm building a website using FP2000. One page includes a combination of
bookmarks and a simple js-driven pop-up window, to provide additional
details on viewer request. The combo works fine in IE and NS7, but NS4.x
fails to recognize the bookmark anchor, taking me to the top of the pop-up
page. In NS4, the pop-up works fine without the bookmark, and the bookmark
works fine if I eliminate the js to link to a normal webpage. Neither of
those options really gives me what I want.

I know NS4 has issues, I just would like as much backward compatibility as
possible. The website is not yet on a server, but the following is the
related snippets of code:

Initial webpage:
<a href="basket_detail.htm#b1" style="text-decoration: underline"
onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','525','330','no');return false;"
target="_blank">Basket Details</a>

Pop-up webpage:
<h4 align="center"><a name="b1"></a><img border="0" src="images/blank15.gif"
width="15" height="15"></h4>

I'd appreciate any suggestions for extending compatibility to NS4. Thanks,
Whit

NN doesn't like empty anchors (neither does the W3C)

Change it to:

<h4 align="center"><a name="b1">
<img border="0" src="images/blank15.gif" width="15" height="15">
</a></h4>

Although I have no idea why you are wrapping an image in a HX tag instead of just a table cell or a <p> if you need a container

Thanks, Stefan - I appreciate the feedback. The <H> tags are FP leftovers.
Originally had text but replaced it with a gif spaceholder.
