Or, even better, simply:

<div id="container"> .....</div>

and the link:

<a href="#container">Top</a>

If you want to go to the top of the page, just ad an

id

to the

body

element:

<body id="top">

and link:

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

;)

Looks like there's a questionmark somewhere in the head of your page..

There might be a character not recognized by IE before your doctype in the source code. Make sure there is absolutely nothing, including any spaces, before the doctype.
