I have pages on my website with multiple 'named anchor' links from other pages. Now, only about one-third of the named anchors will go to the proper location. The rest go to the bottom of the page. However, if then 'select' the URL on the page (which includes the link to the anchor: ex: url#anchor) and hit 'enter' the page will refresh to correct location. I have cleared my cache completely, and even restarted the computer. I have listed the link below. I it happens from #careerE thru the end of the page. This only seems to happen in Firefox.

Can that be caused because that table is in a floating DIV container?

Another good place to ask advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.

That does not make sense to me...why would some of the links work, and others would not? Is there a limit to the number of links/names anchors that are possible? Many many pages are made with floating divs, the the problem does not occur except in Firefox...
