Your code works for me. Of course if that's all the code you have then you really won't see any difference when you click the anchors because everything is in the screen at the same time. So there's no actual movement required.

Add more line breaks to push the headings down pout of view, and they'll be scrolled up when you click on the anchors.

The name attribute on arbitary elements does NOT work as an document fragment anchor point. Added to that a name attribute is only valid on form elements and anchor elements as a document fragment identifier.

<a name="anchor_name">Named page fragment</a>


All current browsers handle an element ID being used as the document fragment identifier/anchor point.

Thanks vacunita. It was working I just didn't have enough space for the cursor to actually move.
