According to my client who is using IE6 my Back To Top anchors aren’t working. There pretty simple html anchor links \\ \Back To Top\ The page is located here [http://dev-westfield.virtualhorizons.com/careers/careertypes.jsp](http://dev-westfield.virtualhorizons.com/careers/careertypes.jsp) I don’t have IE6 to check this and was hoping someone could. Any explaination as to why they are not working?😑 ---

I don’t know if this makes a difference, but I changed the “name=top” to id=top. Thanks. ---

#top is hardcoded into a browser to scroll to the top of the page, so it really isn’t needed to be defined but if you feel it may help add the anchor tag after the body tag. ```auto ```
