Hi Jonathan,

I the other branch of this thread (Dylan Parry) I describe what I think the
problem was.
Dylan's response triggered me into the right direction.

It turn out that IE IS following the hash if I turn output buffering on.
Simple by adding ob_start() the problem is gone.

I found a few other people on the net who advocate output buffering ON with
PHP under IIS for different reasons (most concerned a very slow
userexperience with outputbuffereing off.).

My current workinghypotisis (based on Dylans hunch) is this:
- If IE gets fragmented data in, it 'forgets' to jump.

My former setup was excactly doing that:
1) An URL with a hash
2) Building the HTML page bit by bit including a rather long table that
takes some time to get in (a 2 second query).

Well, output-buffering is really easy to turn on, and all the problems are
gone, so I am happy enough now to enter the weekend with a smile. :-)

Thanks for your time and sorry for my rather irritated tone in my last
response. :-)

Regards and have a nice weekend,
Erwin Moller
