Coding issue when viewed within Firefox
After coding a web site and previewing it in Firefox, I am wondering why clicking on an image with the tag

<a href="#top">

does not take you the top of the page as it does in Explorer and Netscape. Here is a copy of my full code:

<a href="#top"><img src="../global_images/topArrow.gif" width="13" height="13" border="0"></a>

This works perfectly well in Explorer and Netscape, but when you click on the "topArrrow.gif" within the Firefox browser, absolutely nothing happens. I cannot find any documentation on this in the Firefox Knowledge Base, Forums or when I try to Google for an answer.

If anyone has any help on this, I sure would appreciate it. I hate to think that my "go to top" arrows are not working with people browsing my site using Firefox. Thank you in advance...

By the way, when I visit other web sites with "to top" links, they do work in Firefox. I've revealed the source code on those pages and cannot see what they are doing differently.

It should be <a href="top">
And the anchor should be <a name="top">

So the anchor, <a name="top"> , should be placed just below the header as the first line in the body section?

Put it wherever you want the link to go in the page.
