If the page isn't long enough, you will not notice the scrolling effect.

Also, you might want to shorten the anchor names and remove the spaces....

i cut all the crap and just put necessary bits in.
On the tutorial I was using it just jumped straight to the target but mine does not for some reason. it just stays at the top?

I have used this functionality on a page I created, and the only difference I see between yours and my code is that I don't have the html page reference. It would look like this:

<ul>
<li> <a href=&quot;#student&quot;>student what will ses do for me</a>
<li> <a href=&quot;#Can ses help me find a job after leaving&quot;>Can SES help me find a job after leaving?</a>
</ul>

<a name=&quot;student&quot;><h3>As a student what will ses do for me.</h3></a>

<a name=&quot;Can ses help me find a job after leaving&quot;><h3>Can SES help me find a job after leaving.</h3>

Fairly sure some browsers will choke on the spaces in the second name, and it's a lot to type isn't it? Other than that, dunno why it isn't working - but you could try this...

<ul>
<li> <a href=&quot;#student&quot;>student what will ses do for me</a>
<li> <a href=&quot;#job&quot;>Can SES help me find a job after leaving?</a>
</ul>

<a name=&quot;student&quot; id=&quot;student&quot;></a><h3>As a student what will ses do for me.</h3>

<a name=&quot;job&quot; id=&quot;job&quot;></a><h3>Can SES help me find a job after leaving.</h3>

Works nicely for me. Note that the page has very little text and thus no scrollbar therefore the focus cannot be moved to another point on the page. Add a bunch of <br />s at the end and you will see that it is working. Or make the window really really small, again you will see that it jumps to that section. If the page doesn't scroll, no jumping can be performed. You're just already there.

Ok thanks, i get the picture. The browser cannot move.
Thanks for taking a look as it had me stumped
