Strange browser behavior with HTML bindings in C # WebBrowser control

I have a WebBrowser control that I populate with HTML and then render. HTML contains multiple links pointing to anchors on the same page ...

<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <a href="#myTarget">jump</a>

        <!-- further down page -->
        <a name="myTarget"><h2>A heading</h2></a>
    </body>
</html>

  • If I launch my application through Visual Studio and load the control, no HTML is displayed. I click on the link and it jumps to the anchor as it should.

  • Exactly if I install my application on my local machine (i.e. installed via MSI, not launched via Visual Studio). Everything expected so far.

  • However, if I install and run my application in the WinXP VM, the HTML is still displayed as expected, but now when I click on the link it behaves as if it is jumping to a new page. This new page just contains ...

...

<html>
    blank#myTarget
</html>

The tags in the HTML generated by my application are exactly the same as in my example code above.

Could this be a C # issue? Is there a setting for the WebBrowser control I need to edit, perhaps?

Make sure you are using the same version of IE on all testing platforms.
