I am using the

<a name="example">Anchored Text</a>

and linking from another page with

<a href="page.html#example">Linked text</a>

and when clicked it goes to the anchor as it should however, everything else on the page disappears. The navigation and everything above the anchor is just gone in both IE and Chrome. What am I missing here?

Post the code of both pages or the URLs

First of all, there's no need to use the deprecated "name" attribute when you can simply give it an ID and reference that in your link.

Second - the only time I've seen this type of thing is when people use some goofy CSS to force 100% page height using something like margin-top: 5000 and padding-top: -5000. If that's what you're using, get rid of it and use one of the better methods that you'll find in our stickies.

Lady...good job! haha that is exactly what I was doing and figured it out last night. Have now fixed the issue. Thanks.
