<a name=... internal links and </a>
[9]
When writing an internal anchor, something like
<a name="nameofanchor">, either use the form:
<a name="nameofanchor"> or
<a name="nameofanchor"></a>
|
|
Some browsers, notably some versions of firefox,
did not understand anchors like:
<a name="nameofanchor" />
|
|
as usable with XML or XHTML. Indicating the correct
DOCTYPE might also solve the problem :), even if
this solution has not been tested...

Internet Explorer, forms and the method= attribute
[10]
When creating a form, if the "method" attribute
contains leading spaces, some versions of Internet Explorer
will submit the form using the GET method, regardless
of the value of the attribute. As for 2005/2006, all
recent versions of IE exhibit this behavior. As an example:
<form method="GET" ... # correct, GET method used
<form method="POST" ... # correct, POST method used
<form method=" POST" ... # wrong, GET method used
|
|
Note that other browsers, like firefox, ignore the
leading spaces and will correctly send data using the
POST method.
