[RESOLVED] named anchors tags not working in i.e.8

[rmeel]

Named anchors (<a name="foo">) if they are created with the <a> tag using NAME or ID are not working in the i.e.8. Can anybody help?

[Fang]

Are the names/ids unique?

[rmeel]

yes all of them

<ul>
<li><a href="#australia">Australia</a></li>
<li><a href="#china">China</a></li>
<li><a href="#hongkong">Hong Kong</a></li>
<li><a href="#indonesia">Indonesia</a></li>
<li><a href="#malaysia">Malaysia</a></li>
</ul>

<a name="australia" id="australia"></a>
about australia

<a name="china" id="china">
about china

and so on is there any fault in it this simple html code which works in i.e.6, 7 , firefox but not in i.e.8 ?
