Weird problem with anchors in FF.

First off, this is ONLY occurring in Firefox (2.0), not IE (6.0).

I'm using simple, straight-forward HTML anchors. What happens is that when I click on a link, it takes me to the proper place on the page but cuts off everything above that point. Try it out for yourselves:

Might it have something to do with the fact that I'm using negative margins to achieve faux columns? As far as I know, it shouldn't.

I would really appreciate any help on this - it's downright puzzling.

It doesn't just cut off the top, it extends the bottom .. a LOT.

What's happening with anchors is a known problem:

Holy cow!!!

Thank you LadyNRed, this is a new one for me. I just found myself checking all of my pages that use same page anchors.
Now, I have another thing to lookout for.

I've really got to keep up on the browser bugs.

Yet another reason why I can't wait until all browsers use the W3C standards...

Well, it's only a problem if you're using that "One True Layout' solution - which uses massive negative margins to create equal-height columns. By massive I mean the margins are set to -32767px !!!!!
