 put the complete url here .

 a href=http://all the url/and page.html#testlink to anchor/a

AFAIK there is no need to put the complete URL, especially if the anchor is
on the same page.
   
a name=testbla bla bla/a
   
.
   
a href=#topTop of page/a
   
The only time you would need an absolute reference is if the anchor is on
another site.

   What you have in the example above
 a name=test/a /body /html
   is called an empty anchor.  There is no text or anything else
   from the page between the a name=test part and the /a part.
   Insert text from the page, that should appear at the top of screen.
   This is explained somewhere on the Netscape help site.
  
   Empty anchors are tricky, they usually work on the same page, but
   depends on which version you are using.  Sometimes they come up a
   couple of lines off where you want.  If you are linking to an anchor
   on another page, empty anchors have even a less chance to work right.
  
   Hope this helps.  rich
 
  The problem is most likely the spaces, which are illegal in URLs.
  If you really MUST use spaces (and I really don't understand why), you must use
  %20 as any extended character must be escaped.
  I now use a name=home /a notice the space, but the only browser that has
  given me an error about an empty anchor is Mosaic.

 The reply was meant for any to read who are post Communicator questions
 on Moz newsgroup.

 IF I offended you by posting in wrong portion of the thread my
 appologies. :-(

I hate cross posts myself and usually remove them, I saw they were all netscape but 
still
I should've removed mozilla.
No need to reply as I probably won't see it.
