bookmarks not working -- some do, some don't

[DarkeWrites]

I'm a pretty experienced FrontPage user. I'm using 2003. I know it's no
longer being supported; no time to learn something new.

All that said, I'm working on a site that requires bookmarks, linking
thumbnails to sections below (on the same page). I've done this hundreds of
times without a problem.

Now, for some reason, the bookmarks won't work on this particular page. I've
got one working -- but the other thumbnails (which link to other cells) won't
work.

YET -- the "Return to top of page" graphic and bookmark I've created, which
runs throughout all cells in the table, works great.

I'm completely stumped. I've redesigned the page to remove a separate layout
table for the thumbnails; I've tried putting in the full URL instead of just
"#bookmark"; I've tried searching the code for superfluous body and html
tags. I've tried putting in straight text links, in the event the problem was
the graphics. No dice.

I'm desperate, and I hope someone out there can help. I was hoping to avoid
a separate coding solution (such as DHTML) because I always end up with
Firefox headaches. I also eventually plan on adding rollover effects (such as
with the "back to top" link) but I thought I should solve this first before
cluttering up the code.

Here's the link to the page in question (the link to the first thumbnail is
not live):

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Your problem is you are using empty tags for the bookmarks,
- which will usually fail, as in
<a name="siena3"></a>
or in
<p style="line-height: 150%" align="left"><a name="mephisto"></a></p>

Instead , wrap the bookmark tag around an object in the page section,
- like the main image for that section
<a name="siena3"><img border="0" src="photo.siena.png" width="491" height="378" align="right"></a>
or the hr spacers above the sections
<td>
<a name="siena3"><hr noshade color="#404040"></a>
</td>

I've used empty tags in the past, and never had a problem. Your solution
worked perfectly. Thanks so much for the help!
