[SOLVED] Navigation links in embedded email from ReportCaster not working as intended

Hi All,

I'm trying to put some navigation links 
  <a href=>
into an HTML report that is being embedded into an email message from within ReportCaster and I have to touch the links twice to get them to react.

I have a list of addresses as hyperlinks in the upper portion of the report and I want to touch the link and have it jump down to the detail in the lower part of the report. Then I have a "back to top" link in the lower part that sends the user back to the address in the upper part of the report. Make sense? The strange thing is that I have to touch each link twice to get it to navigate and I don't understand why?

So here's a link for the address on top:
 <a name=top12345><a href=#12345>12345 Andrews Lane</a>


Then in the detail below:
 <a name=12345> 12345 Andrews Lane <a href=#top12345>back to top</a>


So on my iPhone, I touch the "12345 Andrews Lane" link in the top of the report and it jumps to the 
 <a name=12345>
anchor below. And then I touch the "back to top" link and it jumps to the anchor 
 <a name=top12345>
anchor above. It works but I have to touch each link twice. Am I doing something stupid here?

Thanks,

Norb

That link for the address on top looks suspicious - are you sure that you didn't forget to add a close-tag there?

You mean this one? 
 <a name=top12345>
Do you think I need a 
 </a>
?

Thanks,

Norb

I came across an article on the web that confirmed that two taps are required for anchor links within an email viewed on an iPhone. So I guess that's that! Complete bummer for Android 2.3 users.

Here's the entire article: http://www.campaignmonitor.com...n-email-newsletters/
