    <a href="#raleigh">Raleigh NC</a>

    In creating a dynamic page with some static content, ie, the list of
    city names is standard HTML encoding. When I click on the link,
    I see the page reload itself instead of jumping to the content where
    <a name="raleigh"> </a>. Any suggestions on how to get around
    this?

    Specifically the page I'm working with...

          That was easy. I'm wondering why some companies apply that
          technique?

          Thanks for pointing that out, Janwillem.

              The BASE element lets you make the base URL explicit: it trumps the
              other two ways of establishing a base URL. For example, you could
              include it in so-called mirror pages in which every relative URL should
              point to an external host; or certain error pages (e.g., 404s), where
              the requested URL is different to the current URL; or a text/html part
              of an e-mail, which lacks an implicit base URL.

              I see no reason in theory to include a BASE href whose value is
              equivalent (in some sense) to the base URL as it would be established
              by RFC3986. I can only imagine that, if it was included deliberately,
              it was meant as a workaround to a bug.
