On Sun, 07 Sep 2003 20:09:04 +0100, Daniel Herding <DHerding(a)gmx.de> gave
utterance to the following:
When you create links within headings, like on
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrika ,
wikipedia creates invalid HTML because it opens an <a> tag within another
<a> tag: The outer one for the TOC anchor, the inner one for the link.
I don't know if it's a problem for any browser, but it can easily be
fixed by
closing the first tag before opening the second.
Example: use
<H3><a name="Nordafrikanische_Staaten"></a><a
href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordafrika" class='internal'
title="Nordafrika">Nordafrikanische</a> Staaten</H3>
instead of
<H3><a name="Nordafrikanische_Staaten"><a
href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordafrika" class='internal'
title="Nordafrika">Nordafrikanische</a> Staaten</a></H3>
Or would the more elegant solution be to use <H3
id="Nordafrikanische_Staaten">
(IIRC some browsers don't work with completely empty anchors - and
Netscape 4 users must be so used to functions not working that I don't
think it matters that the TOC won't work for them if it uses id. THey know
what to do if they want the web to work properly.
