Deon - they are place holders which don't lead anywhere, same page
anchors which simply point to themselves, a method used by developers
when building a page when the address of the page the link points to is
not yet known. The intent being that they go back and enter the final
destination at a later stage. As far as your screenreader is concerned
they work perfectly, clicking the link jumps you to the place the link
points to, in this case back to exactly the same place. But as far as
the user is concerned altogether more confusing.

Hi all, could anyone please check whether they can access the following
links on this site:

Using JFW 7 with IE6 they seem to be dead. Other links on the site are
alive!
