Ok i was able to fix it

It turns out that although all browsers SHOULD be able to find an anchor tag like <a name="top"></a>, some (meaning IE) can't find it if it's empty like that (no character content between the tags).

So I changed it to <a name="top>&nbsp;</a> with a non-breaking space between the tags, and it's working now. BTW, "name" and "id" are both valid...

but I did change it to ID

Why would you expect it to work. The pupose of an anchor is to provide a link for the user, and in your case a link to the top of something. It makes no sense to not provide something for the user to click. Also why are you using a non-breaking space? Your users won't be able to see it therefor it will have no purpose.
