DW CS6 Named Anchor edit not working
I do very little programming. A couple of years ago I used CS6 to create a personal website that had a FAQs page of questions with links to answer pages. Each link had a leading named anchor so when the answer page was displayed it showed all the questions but started at the question line. This week I updated the site with two new pages. I created the same line structure as before -
<li><a id="civil"></a><a href="faqs_civil.html#civil">Can Civil Action be Brought Against Me?</a></li>
All the original links work properly. The two new links only go to the top of the new page instead of the named anchor on the new page.
Also, after the first creation didn't work I deleted the line and started again. DW said the previous "name" was already used and I had to use "name2". Next time I had to use "name3". Where are these coming from if I delete the original line?
In my search I read something about a Table of Contents and something else about a List of parts(?) but I can't find anything about these in DW.
I'm still using CS6 so Named Anchors are still in my menus and are inserted.
ANSWER - I don't know why, but when I finally gave in and used "name3" it finally worked right. When I used the old "name" for both the anchor and link it didn't work. When I changed the anchor AND link to the new name, it did. WHY?
This issue is solved, but I'm not a programmer and if someone can explain about the name change requirements it would be appreciated.
