Anchoring problem in Firefox, it crops my browser after clicking the link

Expand Post »
Hi,

I made a few links that lead to another page on my website but each to a different anchor and when I click in Firefox on one of the links my whole page gets cropped on the destination page. Everything before the anchor is hidden. Please help me! Visit the source file link with Firefox and click on one of the three links in the dashed div space.

Source file address: http://learn-croatian.com/apdejt
Destionation file address: http://learn-croatian.com/apdejt/usluge.php

Here's the code I used for making anchors on the destination page (it's named usluge.php):

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. ...<span class="naslov_blok"><a name="prijevod">professional translations</a></span>...

And here's the link I used on the source file:

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. ...<small><a href="usluge.php#prijevod">read more</a></small>...

Here is a screenshot of the problem:

Thank you in advance!

Re: Anchoring problem in Firefox, it crops my browser after clicking the link

It works OK in HTML files.

Need more info:
- What does the class in the span tag do?
- Is part of your page dynamically formed?
- Did you forget to close a tag above the span tag?
- Is there a change caused by the use of php.

Re: Anchoring problem in Firefox, it crops my browser after clicking the link

Hi.

The style:

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. .naslov_blok {font-variant:small-caps;letter-spacing:1px;font-weight:bold;}

- Nothing is dinamically formed but I use php includes.

- No, as far as divs and spans go because it would mess up my layout.

- Like I said I use includes, only that.

There are some warnings in Firefox about closing div tags in your pages. Maybe try to fix that....

Could you tell me how to check for that myself? I'm guessing with the web developer extension somehow?

Im not very good with anchors, but im pretty sure the anchor link is incorrect. try to make the link go to that page, but use cookies to redirect to the section when the page loads.

Re: Anchoring problem in Firefox, it crops my browser after clicking the link

I've checked several sites that use anchors and my code if flawless. It's nothing complicated, 2 tags and that's it.

Plus I can't code what you said. I'm guessing it's a css thing but I need to find that loose div tag.

Bosko could you please tell me how did Firefox tell you that there are unclosed div tags?

Zdravo poslanik!
When open your page in Firefox press ctrl+u to see page code and then you will see all warnings (not just about divs).

Hvala

But I haven't noticed any warnings, just code. I opened the code of the index page and of the page where the anchors are situated.

You have to install a Firefox plugin HTML validator TIDY(tools->plugin).
