<div><a name> Problems in Safari

[slooksterPSV]

I've setup a <div> area that is setup on Auto for scrolling options. If I have <a name="top"></a> and a ways down the div have a link back to <a href="#top">TOP</a> it does nothing. Firefox works, Internet Explorer works, but Safari does not for this. I've tried changing name to #top, I've tried taking out the </a> on <a name> I tried a lot of things, but nothing has worked. Anyone have this problem?

BTW this is in a PHP Page that loads a page into the <div> box that has the <a name> thing in it. I'll post the code if you need it.

You should use <a id="top></a> for that anchor. While "name" is still part of the spec, later versions of XHTML will be getting rid of the "name" attribute. I'm unsure why it doesn't work in Safari (perhaps a conflict with another id?) but try using "id" and see if that works.

...or to be sure it works in most browsers at the moment use:

<a name="top" id="top"></a>

Nope ID didn't work either. I have it setup like this
<a name="top" id="top"></a>

whatever else

<a href="#top">TOP</a>

Safari doesn't have full support for embedded scrolling layers. It just won't work in Safari unless you get crafty with some Javascript.

sorry.

Actually you can accomplish this through Javascript. Take a look here:

It took me a while to get it working thanks to my JS stupidity but it does work.
