Thanks all for the replies on this issue. I did everything as suggested and still same problem. Any other responses to this issue would be appreciated.

Is your anchor actually enclosing any content? Empty anchors will be
ignored by some browsers.

That's not reliable either. If having a problem with a link to the top
of the page, do not use the word "top" as the name. Some browsers treat
that as a reserved word. Make sure that there is some content in the
named anchor:

<a name="thetop"> </a>

<a href="#thetop">Top of page</a>

If you do those, there is no reason for it not to work.
