I have several pages with internal links that work in Internet Explorer, but when tested in Firefox, they don't. Is there a security setting preventing this. Is there anyone out there for whom internal links work. Here is a link to a page I'm talking about:

Thanks.

You have a link in this format:

<a href="#exactIdOrName">

In your document, your id or name attributes need to exactly match the text after the hash mark:

<a name="exactIdOrName">

Compare yours. Notice the extra character in your id or name attributes that breaks the link in Firefox?

Some other browsers have an attitude of "we know what the author meant" but Firefox is more literal. Remove the hash signs from your name attributes (not your href attributes) and try again.

See this Validation Report for that webpage. https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fthebooksofscripture.com%2Fbeowulf-by-gummere%2F

Probably relates to error#7 and below. The name attribute is obsolete. Consider putting an id attribute on the nearest container instead.
