same page links in iphone mobile safari - html

Mine is something of a newbie question which I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
I have a table of contents on my page, with titles which link to sections further down the page.
the targets are created like this;
<a name='appendix'>Appendix</a>
and the links are created like this;
<a href='#appendix'>Jump to Appendix</a>
Now when you tap on the link in iphone safari, it takes you straight there no problem. However if you scroll back to the top, to the ToC, and tap the same link again, the browser does nothing.
Looking at the url I can see #appendix on the end and I assume that tapping the link again, the iphone believes its already at that link, since the url already has #whatever on the end.
Normally I'd be happy to leave it that, but the iPad, Android and Blackberry all behave as I'd expect, ie no matter where you are on the page or whether you'd tapped on the same link previously, they jump to the target section.
One thing I'm thinking about trying is embedding the whole page in a frameset so its url never changes, although being a noob I've no idea whether that'll even work.
Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas?
Thanks

This appears to be an issue with iOS not you. If it has been working on all other devices I am afraid there is nothing you can do except report it to Apple. However, has your iPhone been acting crashy lately, and have you tried it on other iPhones?

Font Awesome Icons Behave Like Schrödinger's Cat on Mobile

I'm using Font Awesome 5 Free via a kit. On desktop, the icons work perfectly. But on mobile (iOS chrome (normal and incognito), iOS firefox focus, iOS safari), they behave like Schrödinger's cats...
On first page load, the icons appear. Tap reload and they disappear and are replaced by small squares. Tap reload again and they reappear. Every other tap of reload shows or hides the icons.
I notice the same behavior if I toggle back and forth between "request desktop site" and "request mobile site". (I'm not sure what's really going on under the hood there since the page renders the same either way.)
Since they do appear correctly, at least part of the time, I don't think it's a cross-origin problem or a caching problem.
An example page is here: https://onlinesafetyzone.com/learn/learning-zone.php
I've read many posts, here and on GitHub and none of the solutions has worked. Anyone have a clue what's going on?
It seems you have somekind of a XSS issue. I would try to download the fontawsome resources and deploy them with the application. Can be that they have a CDN problem, every second time the fonts break :| so maybe one of the nodes is flipping.

Website does not render correctly on mobile browser(s) after upload to server

I'm not an expert in web and I composed and updated my website recently. I ran all the test that I could on DreamWeaver CC and tested on multiple mobile devices (tablet, android and iphone); all seems to work fine. Until I uploaded the site to my server, the site start to act weird.
1st problem:
It is a portfolio website with individual pages to corresponding projects. On each project page, the first image on the lightbox has always gone missing; but clicking into the lightbox I can find the missing image (the preview image and the lightbox image share the same source so if the lightbox can find the image it implies that the image is on the server and the path is correct).
2nd problem:
when the browser is shrink below certain size, a toggle menu will replace the content on the header, clicking the toggle menu will show a pop up menu to site links. For some reason, after uploading the site to server, the toggle menu pop up never work.
3rd problem:
The above problem is never apparent on desktop browser(all image shows up correctly; toggle menu works). To make the problem more complicated, I can't confirm if it is device or browser oriented problem. For example, the site works on chrome browser on my iphone and nexus 5(android), but problem occurs on my xperia tablet(android) chrome browser; on my xperia tablet, the site works perfectly on firefox.
Does anybody has any idea what the potential cause to the problem, and perhaps a direction to a solution?
Here's the link to my site: http://www.itsatommy.com
Thank you for your time and look forward to any reply.
Looks fine to me (Google Chrome), you need to use media queries for some certain resolutions. You also need to use some cross browser css tags lide "-webkit, -moz, -o" etc.

Safari on mobile devices detecting text field on entire webpage

I have found a very strange issue that seems to only affect iPhones/touch devices using the Safari browser.
When you load any page of our website, e.g. http://199.119.123.135/surety-bonds/commercial-bonds/auto_dealer_bond.htm, tapping anywhere on the page brings up the keyboard as if it's detecting a text field.
I've done a lot of research but couldn't find anything on the subject or how to fix it. Anyone have ideas? Thanks!

Flashing a White page

I have created a website but when i navigate form one menu to another a White flash screen is showing. I google for it but not found the solution. Please help me. Its showing in all browser specially in IE9. Please help me if there any solution for it.
It generally happens when it is loading the next page. If the loading time is more, the white page remains longer. This is a natural behavior of IE and is not-unusual in other browsers too

website written in HTML using iWeb doesn't show up correctly in different browsers

I have a question regarding how to make the same website appear consistently in different browsers on different platforms.
The following is a website that I made for my professor: http://youlab.wustl.edu/Home.html. The site itself was made using iWeb while the drop down menu was manually inserted using an external HTML code provider (SoThink DHTML).
While Firefox displays the site correctly, all the other browsers had some sort of problem displaying the site.
Internet Explorer: none of the links work
Chrome & Safari: the drop down menu is shifted all the way to the left, and were not clickable since it disappeared when the mouse moved towards it.
The movie on 1 page doesn't work either.
Could someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix the problem?
