anchor links not working correctly in different browsers
Hello,
I’m designing a basic HTML website for a photographer: http://www.hedermanphotography.com
I have created anchor links that take you from the enlarged image page back to where you clicked into the image, on the indexpage. The anchor links are meant to take you back to the point on the main page you were originally at. Pretty straight-forward, I thought but…
Firefox: anchor works perfectly
IE: anchor jumps to random points
Safari: anchors not working at all – just goes to start of pageI have checked my code at https://validator.w3.org/ and it seems to be fine.
Does anybody know a way to make the anchors compatible for all 3 of these browsers – or is there another method I could/should use?
I had thought that anchors were pretty reliable/straight-forward…
I’d really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks.P.S. I’m currently trying to make the anchors work temporarily for IE instead as this is probably the most widely used browser…? I want to come up with a better long-term solution though.

It’s a Safari bug. Historically Safari has always had problems with anchor links. The actual version seemed to work OK, but now you have found another bug for them. No anchor links horizontally. Maybe it’s something to report to apple.
I don’t know if there’s a hack, but I think there’s not.

Thanks Fernando,
I’ve reported it to Apple so maybe they’ll sort it out sometime.
