I have a book which I need to link certain sections from one document to another - not a problem at all.
I verified the ePub to be sure all links were good and there were no other issues. Checked the ePub by opening it in ADE and Safari - looks great and the links work.
However when I add the book to my iBooks on the iPad, the links do not direct to the correct location, but rather to the very first 'page' (Title page) of the book.

So the a href's are working in ADE and Safari, but not in iBooks - anybody have an idea as to why?

I'm not even attempting to link to a certain section of the separate (but still in book) document - just going straight to the document.

I am thoroughly confused as to how it could work fine on my mac but not on the iPad.

I'm using Text Wrangler to do all of my html/css work and all of my documents are xhtml.
