RE: Question about linking using ID/IDREF

You may simply be seeing an rather 'odd' behavior from IE (at least
it's odd to me). Specifically, IE 5.0+ inserts a 
full file path in the status bar text for any href attributes
that consist solely of local links (#something)-- even though that 
is NOT what's in the source. Use View.Source to actually look at 
the HTML output -- the odds are very good that your HTML is actually 
<a href="#T07-10-00-500-801-A">...</a> like you want it.
