Is this a known problem in NN 6.2? All my anchors work except for the ones pointing back to the top. In IE the ones referencing #top work even if you omitt the top anchor.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
 
Try the whole path!

<a href=&quot; link </a>

Have you made anchor name as <a name = &quot;top&quot; > TOP </a> ?

Try both! Sivakumar Kandaraj

That's right, it doesn't work in Netscape 6.
You have to create an ordinary local anchor:

<a name=&quot;top&quot;></a>

You can leave it blank, without any text or object inside <a></a> tags.
Place it somewhere at the top of your page.

 
I have tried placing the anchor <a name=&quot;Top&quot;></a> at top of page. I have also tried typing in the entire URL such as <A href=&quot; It still does not work.

Thanks for the ideas. Any other suggestions.
 
Hi,

I had this problem and the answer is that you need to put anything but &quot;top&quot; since top is sometimes a reserved word, eg use <a name=&quot;pagetop&quot;> and to reference
<a href=&quot;#pagetop&quot;>something like image or text</a>

Make your your <a> tag is wrapped round something like some text or a picture!

Hope that works!

At this very moment I'm working on some site, and <a name=&quot;top&quot;></a> called from <a href=&quot;#top&quot;>...</a> works perfect in N6.2

 
references to named anchors are case-sensitive. Incorrect case may be honored, but isn't always (and shouldn't be). A reference to <a href=&quot;#Top&quot;>Go up</a> will not necessarily reach an anchor named <a name=&quot;top&quot;></a>.
