Safari Target-Anchor Problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 07.2007

So I’ve read a bug report for Safari thats affecting a website I’ve made, but I don’t understand the language, what is an “overflowing element”.

bug report
“Anchor (or “#name”)links don’t work when the target anchor is inside an overflowing element”

there was no workaround included for this bug, however, if I knew what this overflowing element was, maybe I could position the target elsewhere. Hope somebody can help me out. Thanks.

@TJ111Nov 07.2007 — I believe they are referring to something with a property of "overflow:hidden" or "overflow:scroll". That is, content that is on the page but not visible to the user because it is being run off the screen by other content. Thats just my interpretation though.

Success!
