Re: #top anchor doesn't work in FF

I can see what you mean and I understand you perfectly :-)... but my point is:
div id="outer" is *not* at the top of my page (from a visual UA only standpoint it is, but you have to think at screen reader UAs). Look at the source:

<body>
<div id="accessibility>
</div>
<div id="outer">
....

The top anchor needs to be _before_ the accessibility div but _not_ within the accessibility div... that's why there is a *superfluous* empty div (as you put it) :-)

So my working structure is now:

<body>
<div><a name="top" id="top"></a></div>
<div id="accessibility">
</div>
<div id="outer">

I do admit: it looks awkward, but it serves its purpose...
