I am trying to add anchor tags into a webpage to enable us to link to specific sections of a rather long page.

I am using <a name="name"> which works in Chrome, Safari and IE, however in Firefox, it is constantly reloading the page.

An example of this is here http://www.sippcentre.co.uk/infocentre/Article/news-views-december-13#soft-closed

Am I doing something wrong?

Even though we're not here to support specific coding issues, I can't help you without seeing your code.

Sorry, I thought this was just a message board for all types of queries.

The tag has been coded with the following:

<a name="soft-closed"></a>Soft-closed funds

It looks that there is some JavaScript running on the web page that gets triggered by a hash (#) symbol in the URL in the location bar (document.location).
It works with JavaScript disabled.
