firefox 3 and anchors within a page

[bruce47500]

Hi guys,
Got a little problem - this time it works ok in IE6 but not in firefox.
I am using an unordered list to navigate across site pages. On one page I need to return uses to almost the bottom of one page which has been marked with an anchor. This works fine in IE6 but when used with firefox 3.0.7 it returns to the begining of the page. Code as follows:

<li><a href="directions.php#local">Local Map</a></li>

This is the nav code and this id the anchor:

<p id="local" class="mapHead">Schematic Map of the Local Area</p>

I have tried using name instead of id but this does not work in IE

There has to be a simple answer but at the moment it is eluding me, normall it is IE6 I have trouble with not firefox.
Would appreciate some suggestions
