Firefox doesn’t understand anchor tags

No matter that anchor tags are some twenty years old, the Obama of web browsers, Firefox, managed to screw them up. If you want to jump to an <a name=”anchor_name”> tag, You need to wrap the stupid anchor in a stupid div because stupid Firefox only jumps to the top of the enclosing div, even if it’s the length of the entire stupid page, and not to the anchor tag itself.

This is how it should be:

<a name="anchor_name">

This is how clumsy Firefox needs it:

<div style="clear:both"><a name="anchor_name"></div>

    Whoops! Looks like you just forgot to close the “a” tag there. :) Try using in the future and it will work like a charm.
