Back to top link not working in IE6

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 24.2011

Whether I create a link that is simply href=”#”, or point it to a div via href=”#nameofdiv”, all I get is a [I]The page cannot be displayed[/I] error.

Seems to work in other browsers and newer versions of IE, but I’m stuck using IE6 as it’s on a work computer.

Any fixes?

Cheers.

@Haze1434authorMay 24.2011 — The code is pretty much as stated.

[code=html]<a href="#">Back to top</a>[/code]

... should work on it's own, and does in Firefox and IE7+.

I also tried...

[code=html]<div id="top">Stuff</div>

<a href="#top">Back to top</a>[/code]

@KorMay 24.2011 — the hash '#someid' should point to an anchor (an A element) not to a DIV
<i>
</i>&lt;a id="foo"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
...
&lt;a href="#foo"&gt;go to the anchor "foo"&lt;/a&gt;

To bring a document to the top:
<i>
</i>&lt;a href="#"&gt;that brings the document to the top&lt;/a&gt;

That works in [I]all[/I] the browsers, IE6 included.

<a name="top">.....</a>
