Each post/comment gets an anchor link. But you only support browsers that know to treat ID like "a name". Please support the latter to support all browsers.

Drupal (our content management system) uses IDs. IDs are 100% valid HTML as anchors and are a part of the HTML specification as such. IDs as anchors is supported by Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
If your browser doesn't support it, it's a bug and should be reported to your browser publisher.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

He's right, if your browser doensn't know how to treat the tag, it's got some major issues
[Edit: Whoops, I'm stupid (misread) :P, what browser doesn't know how to handle the ID thing though?]
lwc said that his browser has
<a name="">support but lacks<a id="">support, and Drupal only uses<a id="">, and so, he was requesting the inclusion of anameattribute in the tags so he could use them. But a browser that doesn't supportids is really out of date and should be replaced by a more modern browser. Beyond that, using theidattribute is perfectly valid HTML.EDIT: Whoops, too late, you already figured your mistake. And gluxon, lots of older browsers do, like older Netscape and older IEs.
lol, it's the war of the Edits
