Is there a trick I am missing; I use bookmark tags

<a name="copyright">Copyright Heading</a>

with a link on the footer of each *.asp page.

<a href="http://mysite.com/notices.asp#copyright">Copyright</a>

It sometimes resolves to that bookmarked section of the long page, but often does not (just going to the top of the page).

I use Frontpage 2003, but have tried a manual placement of code AND using the ordinary Frontpage tools approach to insert both sets of tags. The home page includes the footer link; all other pages have an INCLUDE footer, but neither work most of the time, but sometimes do.

Thanks!

You've got the mark-up right. If you click on a named anchor before the page is fully loaded, it often fails - does that account for the behavior you notice?

Sometimes the server gets a hiccup (for some reason I notice this more frequently with ASP pages) and perhaps the page is only partially there, and stalled out.
