I have a series of named anchor links <a href="#"> and <a name=""> on my site. If the user clicks on a bunch of them and then uses the back button, the address changes, but the page doesn't move back to the location on the page which the address is showing. This problem only happens in Netscape.

Does anyone know a fix? I don't care if it requires Javascript, CSS, whatever. I'm even willing to use an alternative to named anchor links.

Thanks.

firstly, you can't change the browser's back button functionality. however you can make your own buttons in the page itself so that none have to use the browser's back button. you can create your own button links to link them to anchors in the page. make sure that you have a couple of these links so that the user will never have to rely on the back button to navigate
