anchors in tables?
I have anchors created in tables rather than divs, however, it does not work using tables but divs. is there a way to get them working in tables?

Re: anchors in tables?
Can’t you put a “div” inside a table?

There’s a div inside the table but whenever it is within a table, anchors don’t work that way.

Re: anchors in tables?
When I do this (in an article) it works:
|this|is a|table|row|
|(#anchor). here|the|second|row|It produces this html:
<table>
<tr>
<td>this</td>
<td>is a</td>
<td>table</td>
<td>row</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="anchor">here</td>
<td>the</td>
<td>second</td>
<td>row</td>
</tr>
</table>Offline
Re: anchors in tables?
Why should this not work?
"link to row-id1":#id1
"link to cell-id2":#id2(#id1). |(#id2). 1|2|
|3|4|
|5|6|Or is this not what you mean?

Re: anchors in tables?
Really? I will show my code here:
This is what I have in my page template consisting of the form to call.
<table cellpadding="5px"><tr>
<td width="150px" valign="top"></td>
<td><txp:article_custom form="post_list" section="post" limit="99" /></td>
</tr></table>And the post_list form:
<txp:if_different>
<h1>2008 Archive</h1>
<br />
</txp:if_different>
<txp:if_different>
<br />
<h3 id="<txp:posted format="%B" />"><txp:posted format="%B" /></h3>
</txp:if_different>
<font color="#666"><txp:posted format="%d:" /></font> <txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
<br /><txp:Ruhh />

Re: anchors in tables?
Are you sure the id (date in your case) is always unique?

Re: anchors in tables?
Does it have to be a table? And do you really want your article list in one table cell? Because that is what your code does.
Also, what is the first if_different supposed to do? It won’t do anything if there is no txp tag inside ;)

It should be when using if_different… at least when there is only one year on the page.

Re: anchors in tables?
I am pretty confused. Yes I need the tables because my articles are in the right side of the table whereas the dynamic sidebar goes in the left side of the table. I have an archive page containing the month+year dates that are linkable to the yearly archive page consisting of the posts under each month that’s called in the link.
This is what the link looks like:
<a href="<txp:site_url />archive/2008#<txp:posted format="%B" />"><txp:posted format="%B %Y" /></a><txp:Ruhh />

Re: anchors in tables?
Well in my opinion two divs (one floating) would be better, but that is up to you :)
When I put a <h3 id="whatever"> in a table cell, the anchor still works. Maybe it’s a browser issue, I seem to remember that IE once had difficulties with anchors other than <a name="anchor"> :)
