Hi Jon,

i've found a little "trick" (that lets your page still work without
JavaScript, too):

<a href="targetpage.html#A?dummy=1">A</a>
<a href="targetpage.html#B?dummy=2">B</a>
<a href="targetpage.html#C?dummy=3">C</a>

and in targetpage.html:

<body onLoad="self.focus()">

I'm sure you already figured out the drawback of this method: it is
reloading the page for every click. Maybe a no-brainer in a LAN.

The trick is that the browser seems to believe that his last received
results are irrelevant (due to dummy variable) and so decides to request
the page again which makes onLoad with focus() work. (I don't have an idea
why he re-requests it when you press link "A" twice.... ;-)

If reloading the page is not wanted/acceptable, i'm afraid you have to put
in more JavaScript. (<a href="JavaScript: and so on) but then you have to
take care of those with no JavaScript capable or enabled browsers and
remain with no solution for these poor ones.

I think i have a solution for that somewhere, if you want it, just mail.
(Then i search it :-)


best regards /  Mit freundlichen Grüssen
