named anchors not working in Safari

  • I have searched for an answer to this both here and Google, but can’t seem to find quite the right answer.
    I have a WordPress site orleanswateralliance.org. On the NEWS page, the first two items link to areas within another page (PLANNING). The first link should go to a section of the PLANNING page with this code preceding it:
    <strong><a name="ODOR">WASTEWATER ODOR CONTROL BASICS</a></strong>
    The code calling it is: <a title="Wastewater Odor Control" href="https://www.orleanswateralliance.org/?page_id=117#ODOR">WASTEWATER ODOR CONTROL</a>
    In all but Safari, it works, going to the correct area of the PLANNING page. In Safari, although it displays the link correctly at the bottom of the screen, it seems to ignore the #ODOR part, and just displays at the top of the PLANNING page.
    I originally had the code as <a name="ODOR"></a>WASTEWATER ODOR CONTROL BASICS, but that didn’t work.
    I am using Atahualpa 3.7.0.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    My Safari is 5.0.4, but the person who alerted me to this problem is also using Safari on a MAC, and I don’t know what version. I have tried Firefox, IE and Chrome, and they all work.

    I also searched the forum for Atahualpa with no success

    I should have said that I search within the forum for Bytesforall, which created Atahualpa and didn’t find the issue there.

    Today I also tried using id= instead of name=, with the same result – works in Firefox, not in Safari. I know name= work in a regular html page in Safari, just not in WordPress.
