Anchors cut off my page?

[meehal]

 

Hello, this issue has been driving me crazy. I haven't really had to use anchors before and now the time has come...

 

I'm using php and HTML the content is pulling in via GET and the content is in a plain html file. e.g....

 

index.php?page=home.html

 

where home.html is an actual file located in say pages/

 

i'm using the standard anchor techniques

 

here is some text above my link to anchor

 

<a href="#test1">test</a> moves you to the div with a ID called test.

 

<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

 

<br/>

 

<a name="test1">text</a>

 

Now when clicked it jumps the anchor but removes anything above it, is there a way around this. I think its going to be something very obvious but i just can't see it.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried google and searching this forum, but perhaps i'm searching for the wrong thing.

 

Thank you.

<a name="test1">text</a>
