I have a page setup using anchors. For some reason not all the
anchors are working correctly. The last three anchors do not start
where they are supposed to. I then started removing the anchor links
to troubleshoot erroneous code. The more anchors I removed from the
bottom the move the problem moved upwards. Any help with this problem
would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean, it all works fine for me. Well, the page ends
after the last answer, so the browser has nothing to scroll further down
to. That's why the anchor's target won't display at the top of the
viewport as it usually would. A workaround would be to artificially make
the page longer, but I'm not sure that is very attractive.
It would be helpful to have the question repeated, e.g. as a heading
above the answer.

You mean that if you click on "do you have a website", the
answer doesn't show exactly at the top of the window?
To make that happen, you would need to apply a large white space
at the bottom of your page, to let it scroll. The page simply
can't scroll up any more when the bottom of the document is
reached...

Most definitely, the "questions" need to be repeated at the top of
their sections, most likely with <h2> markup. Many visitors will
simply scroll the whole page, and won't know when they have gotten to
a new answer. [I did not find an <h1> on the page, but there should be
one.]
The list of questions (table of contents) should be marked up as a
list: <ul><li>...

I see the page, and a couple of clicks on the questions seemed to
take me to the right answers. The very last question, when I clicked
on it, took me to a point in the middle of a preceding paragraph.
That's not unusual with browsers when an anchor is near the end of a
page: sometimes the prefer to show a full or nearly full page of
text.
P.S. There are five HTML errors, which you probably want to fix on
general principles, though I don't think they relate to the problem
you're reporting. http://validator.w3.org/check?charse....htm&outline=x
One of the four is a size=+2, which should be size="+2" as far as
the syntax is concerned, but is probably not the right way to do
things on other grounds.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions I will add more whitespace to
the bottom of the section. As far as the errors they are not show
stoppers and can be fixed easily. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
