internal-link

This one has me scratching my head. I have a page with several internal links bringing the user down the page to further content. Beneath various sections there are further internal links bringing the user back to the top. This works fine in all browsers apart from IE8 (actual IE8 - not IE9 in IE8 mode) where they work go down, but not coming back up!

Examples:

<a href="page.php?v=35&amp;u=admin-videos#a">A &ndash; General</a>
.... //travelling DOWN the page
<h3><strong>A &ndash; General<a name="a"></a></strong></h3>

<a name="top"></a>
.... //travelling back up
<a href="page.php?v=35&amp;u=admin-videos#top">Back to top.</a>

I've tried filling the 'top' anchor with   but that hasn't changed it. Any ideas?

Actual use case: http://databizsolutions.ie/contents/page.php?v=35&u=admin-videos
