Firstly, I created an anchor called 'MyAnchor' using the Anchor button on the TinyMCE editor toolbar. Now, when I try to link some text on that page, a 'Create link' dialog pops up, however, the Anchor dropdown is empty. I was expecting it to contain a 'MyAnchor' item. Am I doing this wrongly or missing something here?

I looked this up and tried in IE9 to no avail.

Which EPi version you are using? If I recall correctly - this has been reported and fixed a while ago.

The site is currently on version 7.8.

Are you referring to the bug specific to Chrome?

According to this bug, EPi7.x sites save anchors as

<a id="Anchor1"></a>

which is correct. However, the TinyMCE plugin doesn't pick this up and only pick up anchors specified with 'name' attribute instead

<a name="Anchor1"></a>

Need to figure out how to fix this.
