Jumpto specific place on page. works in i.e 5.0 but not in i.e 6.0

I have a FAQ consisting of two pages. The first page shows all question and when you select a question you come to the other page which contains the answers.

The problem is that when I use internet explorer 5.0 the answer page opens a I start at the right answer. When I use IE 6.0 I always come to the top of the aswer page no mather which question I select. Is this a know fault/problem? How can i solve it?

I am using a cgi script. The faq is designed so administrators can add FAQ's by filling in a form.


The first page with the questions looks like this after it's opened and generated by the cgi-script:

../faq/index.html

<a href=&quot;../faq.cgi?action=displayAll#019&quot;><b> Procedure at alarms</b></a>

The page with all the answers which is also cgi-script generated looks like this.
/faq.cgi?action=displayAll#019


<a name=&quot;019&quot;></a><tr><td width=&quot;50%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; align=left>019 Thursday 18 July 2002 14:03<br><b>Procedure at alarms</b>


All the anchors have unique names.

I solved the problem by moving the ancor outside the table.

Probably would have worked if you'd moved it into the <td> too, it just didn't like being it the limbo between <table>and <tr> (or </tr> and <tr>). Makes the page invalid too btw.
