tables and anchors
am 20.12.2007 07:25:58 von eliza.block
Does anyone know an elegant way to put anchors into a table? I have a
large table with names, addresses, phone numbers for 100+ people, and
links at the top to letters of the alphabet. I'd like to be able to
put anchors within the table so that clicking on, say, "S" jumps to
the names ending in S. But putting a line like into the
table between rows doesn't work. (It always jumps to the top of the
table.) Same result for
.
I discovered that | generates the right behavior; the
problem is that it leaves an ugly space between rows in the table.
Is there a neat solution that I'm missing?
Thanks!
Eliza

You are also missing a url to show us so that we can tweak it for
you...

That's because you cannot have an between rows in a . In fact the
only thing you can have in a is 's, or perhaps a
etc.
The error correction I have seen is to put the offending at the top of
the table.

You also cannot put a in a . They must be inside a .

Apply the id to an existing row:

Yes, there isn't any reason to put the anchor in its own cell at all.
Put it directly in front of the first name that begins with S, within
the cell that contains it.

Anything between rows (except tags, which is irrelevant here) is
invalid markup.

You shouldn't use dummy (empty) cells. Instead, put the id="S" attribute
into the tag of the first cell in a row. (You could also use | |
id="S">.)
