You must specify a target frame, it's also a good idea to specify the 
name of the page itself.

Example you have two frames Nav & Main:

You want to hit two anchors in the Main frame from the nav frame.  
Your 
anchors are "top" & "bottom"

the code for that could be:

<a href="#top" target="main">top</a> 
<a href="#bottom" target="main">bottom</a>

this will not always work though.  Find the name of your target page 
and use that before the anchor name & everythings great crossbrowser.  
(This method may cause the page to reload, so it may not always be a 
good idea with forms or complex data)

<a href="main.html#top" target="main">top</a> 
<a href="main.html#bottom" target="main">bottom</a>

main.html is the name of the example target page.
