Why does it only scroll to the first named anchor within a page?

Page links of the form URL#anchTag will ONLY scroll to the first named anchor (form <a name="anchTag"></a>). Links to any additional named anchors only scroll to the first.

Firefox 3.6.8 on WinXP SP3 and 3.6.10 on WinXP SP2 show this behavior.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 on Win2K SP4 DOES NOT show this behavior; anchor tags behave as they should.

Do you mean that all those anchor tags have the same name?

Of course not ... I just didn't want to list them.

all:

In any case, we found a solution. The named anchors were located under <tr> elements in a formatting table. Firefox prefers them in <td> elements. Making this change fixed the problem.
