shtml linking within a page (named anchors)

Hey,
I'm having a problem creating links within a page to other parts of the page. I am using an external style sheet so my site is sitename.shtml. This is how I have it written out:
<a href="#alberta">Alberta</a> which is linked to this later on the page:<a name="alberta">Alberta</a>
It works when I've saved it as a html document, but not shtml, please help.

I have never heard of this before - so the first thing I would suggest is validating the final shtml source output.

W3C Validator - HTML [validator.w3.org]
W3C Validator - CSS [jigsaw.w3.org]

I am using an external style sheet so my site is sitename.shtml

Maybe I misunderstand your situation, but you can use either of these approaches in the <head> section

...to bring in an external style sheet - no need for SSI.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, bluebottle1984!

Have you tried using the whole filename:

<a href="filenname.shtml#alberta" title="Alberta">Alberta</a>
