I've noticed that there are a few web pages out there that use
<a name="#thelink">
instead of
<a name="thelink">
Would it be possible for the HTML parser to ignore the leading # in anchor
names? Has anyone looked into this before?
The following HTML should give you a good idea of what I'm talking
about--Try clicking all four links at the top. Note that in IE all four
links are handled as if no leading # is present. (Forgive me if there are
conventions for posting HTML that I don't know about!)
