GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 255549
"id" attribute is ignored
Last modified: 2005-05-12 13:26:22 UTC
Description of Problem: According to the HTML specification ID attributes can be used as anchors to jump to. So basically <a href="#later">Go a bit down</a> <h1><a name="later">Yes</a></h1> and <a href="#later">Go a bit down</a> <h1 id="later">Yes</h1> are practically having the same meaning... While checking the code for gtkhtml 3.1.8, I saw that the value of "id" attribute is only used for <a> elements, for others it's just ignored. Have this functionality been considered at all? And, if yes, is it going to be implemented?
