I'm having a problem with linking to different secions on another page. I'm developing in HTML Kit and when I set up the code to link to a section in another page it works fine in Gecko mode but not in internet explorer. IE tells me that it can't find the page.

<a
href="PuritanBackground.shtml">Early Puritan Beginnings</a></li><li><a
href="PuritanBackground.shtml#section2">Puritans in England</a></li><li><a
href="PuritanBackground.shtml#section3">Massachusetts Bay Colony</a></li>
Then in the PuritanBackground page, first I tried this:

<h2 id="Section2">Puritans in England</h2>
blah blah
<h2 id="Section3">Massachusetts Bay Colony</h2>
blah blah

then :

<p><a id="section2"></a>
<h2>Puritans in England</h2>
blah blah
</p><p>
<a id="section3"></a>
<h2>Massachusetts Bay Colony</h2>
blah blah
</p>

Both ways worked in Gecko mode and not in IE
