overflow auto w/ names links on mac

I coded a site for a client. It uses a SPAN with overflow = auto to scroll the content in the page. The side navigation uses named links to scroll to different sections of the document. Works fine on a PC.

The designer says the named link based navigation doesn't work on a mac. Could someone confirm this and offer any ideas for workarounds (I'm thinking of the .scrollIntoView method but haven't tried it yet).

I guess a URL would help huh?

I had a look on a PC and you are not compatible with NN6, Mozilla 1.4 or Opera 7.02. You are only compatible with IE 5.5 and above.

I also had a quick look at your CSS and noticed that you are using some IE CSS tags: scrollbar-3dlight-color, scrollbar-arrow-color, scrollbar-base-color, scrollbar-darkshadow-color, scrollbar-shadow-color.

There are some good examples at www.dynamicdrive.com for scrollers if you are stuck or want a more compatible scroller.

u2o.

just tested it on Mac OSX, IE5.something

clicking on each link made the page scroll right to the bottom so all i could see was white space, so i scroll up and click another and im just sent to the bottom of the page again. Looks like you havent targeted the span correctly. Have you put a target on those links?

Yeah, here's an example of the two parts of a link...

Library


<a name="curriculum_Library"></a><span class="blu">Library Science.</span>

Nothing unusual about that. I think there's an issue with scrolling to the correct position in a span using a named link with overflow auto on IE Mac.
