I also think it's worth mentioning that the XHTML standard will refer to the "id" attribute, not the "name" attribute, when searching for a link in the format "#identifier". Many people double-up (putting the same value in both attributes) for backwards-compatibility. I look forward to the day when markup isn't so bloated due to the inability of certain web browser franchises to "get it right." // Todd
