[docbook-apps] need help with browser id test


Hi all,
The stylesheet developers are debating whether the next generation of XSL
stylesheets for HTML output should eliminate named anchors like <a
name="foo"> in favor of using the recommended id attribute <h1 id="foo"> for
linking.  It appears that only very old browsers cannot link to an id, but I
don't have many old browsers available for testing.

So I've posted a quick test on my website.  If you click on this link, you
should see "My browser worked!".  If instead you see "My Browser Failed",
then the link could not find the id attribute in the HTML and it left you at
the top of the HTML file.  Could you send us information about any browser
versions that fail?  If you have access to older browsers, that would be
most useful.  Thanks.
