Content-Type: text/html
The problem is "standards compliance." Anchors with name= only instead
of id= or id= and name= don't (any more) comply with the standards of a
DOCTYPE that kicks you out of "quirks" mode in browser "interpretation."
Add the id="1'' to your anchors and they will work fine. You could
presumably remove your DOCTYPE but that's not a safe future bet.
