Anchors Not working ?

Hi there,
has anyone come across this problem?

Dreamweaver MX 2004.

Ive been working with anchors on various pages blar blar.
But now they don't work? They worked earlier today as I was developing a new
page but when it came to testing none of them were working??

So as a test...
created a table on a untitled document.
1 column and 30 rows.
placed an anchor on row 30 (aaaa)
Row one entered text aaaa
created a link #aaa
Previewed in my browser and nothing!
clicking on the link the page wont move to row 30?

Ive recreated the site cache, no change.
But pages I created weeks ago continue to work?

Any idea's

Thanks in advance Mark

Did you save the document first? Do you have a URL of the page in question?

Ive done some reading and found out that Dreamweaver does not like Anchors
in Tables !!
So up to now creating Anchors in tables ive been lucky.
But it works on a page of text.
So splitting my tables and putting anchors out side the tables worked...
Not the best work around but the only one a could fined.

Thanks for the reply

Throw that source away. It's nonsense.

I have been using Dreamweaver since version 3 and have often had this problem
which still persists to this day. The source is not complete nonsense and does
have some validity. Taking the anchors out of tables is the only reliable
method I have found to make them work when they don't work first time.

I have just been working on a page (sadly it is a password protected list of
applications for a position so I cannot give you the link) in that page there
were 6 anchors. 5 inside tables and one at the top outside the tables. Guess
which was the only one to work.

All the anchors worked instantly with no other code changes once they were
removed from the tables. This is an issue in DW. Previously I have found that
renaming the anchors sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

where the anchors in otherwise totally empty cells?
like this-
<td><a name="fred"></a></td>

if so-
<td><a name="fred">&nbsp;</a></td>
or
<td><a name="fred"></a>&nbsp;</td>

but without seeing the real actual code it's a guessing game and it's late.

All the anchors worked instantly with no other code changes once they were
