 * I’m trying to create a link on one thread and send the user to another thread
   in a specific part of it and I’m trying to do with anchor links; the thing is
   I can’t get it to work on all browsers only except in IE.
 * This is what I’m doing:
 * 1. Select text on Thread2 and and create an anchor name “#ANCHOR”
    2. Then go
   to Thread1 and click on a word which I want to be clickeable and add the anchor
   link name at the end of the URL `<a href="http://myblog.com/howto#ANCHOR">`
 * Again, I’ve tested this on all major browsers [IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera]
   but it only works on IE :S
 * btw .. which one is the correct way to create an anchor link because I’ve come
   across many versions:
 * `<a name="#ANCHOR NAME"></a>`
