[Doc-SIG] Doc html Index only works with netscape

[Fetherston, Tom]

The urls are just those in the "C:\Python20\Doc\ref\genindex.html" file, I'm
just collecting them in the Tcl equivalent of a Dictionary of list, with the

python terms as the keys.  On both Mac and Pc, netscape translates the
fragment
into a properly positioned page with respect to the looked up term, while
Internet 
Explorer just opens each page with it's top showing.

It seems that this type of fragment (which I don't understand, and can't
find in
Html reference books) only works in Netscape.

I note that the Window download of Python has the Doc type set to netscape
docs.

The fact that they also behave this way when you click directly,
as opposed to sending an AppleEvent, tells me that this is a more
general browser issue rather than a Mac-specific or a Python-specific
thing.  I think there's a problem with your fragment syntax, but i
can't tell anything further without seeing your HTML file.  Can you
provide the URL so we can look at it?
