Internal page links in Opera

Opera links

[custardcrumble]

I'm trying to insert a simple link to point to the top of a page. I've tried creating a link to #top which works nicely in IE6 but not in Opera. As Opera's my preferred browser, I'd really like to get this working. Anyone got any tips?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, custardcrumble!

Strange one - I've never had any cross browser problems with this... Does you code look like this:

At the top of the page:

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

At the end of the page:

<a href="#top" title="Top of the Page">Top of Page</a>

That's what I thought I had but I've just viewed source and can't see the anchor at the top of the page. I'll have a look at home to check the original code. If it's not there, why does it work in IE?!

[BlobFisk]

Not sure - perhaps IE recognises the #top to mean the top of the page, even if the named anchor is not present....

If IE can't find an anchor, it defaults to the top of the page.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks to you both
