View Full Version : Anchors in one page doc

I converted the HandBase3 user doc with iSiloXC. The structure of the document is such that it's one bigish (223k) HTML file. Each topic section is outline numbered and the Table Of Contents points to those sections via anchor links (i.e. internal links done with the "#".)

Tapping a link in the TOC results in the document scrolling to the top of the file rather than scrolling to the particular section, e.g. tapping on section 3.2.12 Linked Fields does not scroll to that section, iSilo scrolls to the top of the page (page 1, the only page in the document.)

Oddly, the Find function seems confused too. Searching for "3.2.12" seems to search and find each occurrence but again iSilo has problems where it doesn't scroll to the location where the text is found.

Could it be that one fairly long one page document is too big for iSilo page pointers?

iSiloXC 4.01 for Linux, iSilo 4.01 on a Palm T3 with >20MB free. Doc was tried on SD card and in RAM with the same result.

Thanks,
Frank

It is definitely not because the document is too large. I have plenty of large documents that work without a problem, but I have seen this issue before. I can't remember it entirely, but I'll take a shot at it.

The problem is that the document has a top-level table that spans the entire document. iSilo does not, currently, allow linking into a table. My suggestion is that you select "Document Properties:Tables" from within iSiloX and select either "Unfold full-page top-level tables" or "Include only tables at levels 1 or greater".

I guess I should have searched first. This thread is what I was remembering.

Good luck! :)

Yes -- there were a bunch of anchor name tages within tables. In fact there were a lot of semi-useless tables that I weeded out.

Thanks for the tip,
