why doesn't anchor work in NS6?

[Jeff]

I wonder why my anchor doesn't work in Netscape 6:
http://runningtideyachts.com/motorsailing/ for example.
("Top of the Page" link in the bottom-most right corner)

This works fine in IE and pre-6.0 NS's but not in NS 6 - must be the table it doesn't like?

<a href=&quot;#top&quot;><img src=&quot;../assets/pagetop.gif&quot; width=&quot;97&quot; height=&quot;18&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;></a>links to <a name=&quot;top&quot;></a> at the top.

you broke up the flag (target="_top">)from the (<a href>) tag. instead it should be this:

<a href="http://wherever.com" target="_top"><img src="../assets/pagetop.gif" width="97" height="18" border="0">links to </a> at the top.

the above code will make both your image AND "links to" hyperlinked, leaving "at the top" not hyperlinked.

basically, your Target (<target>) is a flag to the tag (of <a href>), not a tag. :)

Thanks, but I fear I shouldn't have abbreviated the code I posted. What I meant was that at the top of the page I have: ...snip...
<td height="62" width="201" valign="top"><div align="center"><a name="top"></a></div></td>
...snip... and at the bottom I have: <a href="#top"><img src="../assets/pagetop.gif" width="97" height="18" border="0"></a>

In another thread about another Netscape 6.01 problem, Shelia recommended I download Mozilla 0.9, and I just found today that while Netscape 6.01 does not work with the anchors above, Mozilla 0.9 works just fine 8}
