HTML-Question: I make an anchor, it works but ... (see the whole text)?

Question

I make an anchor name as follows
-----------example-------------
...
...

...[here is my HTML content]...
To the top


---------or like this------------
...
...
...[span body]...
...[here is my HTML content]...
To the top


Both versions work correct when clicking on "To the top" in browser. But I hear a "click-sound" when clicking on a name anchor link. It wasn't so before (because it was Internet explorer 5 maybe?)

What is the reason? the version of browser or what?

I've added the the end tag. I just forgot to write it in my question. That's not the reason.

fjpoblam, you offer a good alternative. I've tried it. But it's still the same.

A Top Contributer is here. Mr. dhvrm is right if we talk about simple links. But when I used anchor names I am sure I didn't have the sound. I am sure for 100%.

Answer 1

The clicking noise you hear on Internet Exporer when clicking an anchor is by design and specific to IE.

Update:

I assure you, you only hear the clicking sound in IE and it is by design.

Answer 2

Just to support...

Its browser Specific, IE likes to make noises, while you use another browser like Firefox, it won't make any noise.

Just a note I'm using IE 7.0 and still produces the click-sound
while my Firefox didn't product any sound.

Answer 3

(1) Stick with id rather than name...newer browsers (and html standards "deprecate" use of name...

(2) If you're willing to depend on a javascript solution, you could go with To the top

Answer 4

I think it's the browser version doing that, or perhaps that click sound for windows was disabled (or the sound was turned down).

Answer 5

You need to add an end body to your code

...[here is my HTML content]...
To the top




I don't know your answer though
