Missing the point entirely. Why add an empty element that serves no
purpose other than supply a anchor when toy can use an existing element
and create your anchor with an ID. That is like using empty <p></p> or
table rows for creating padding!

I remember this "era", when they used a small transparent gif 1x1 px
to achieve some effect. LOL

I still use that, and it _is_ necessary.

If you find it necessary, you are probably doing something wrong, or at
least inefficiently. I haven't used spacer gifs for about 10 years now.

Hah, I knew somebody would take the bait...
Not at all, Holmes. I'm not using it as a spacer gif but as the last
image in a container to "finalize" justification of the previous (last)
line of images. There is no other way to do that I'm aware of.

last millennium! Use an ID attribute and forego the superfluous empty
element.
Now I keep seeing this thought the thread, you cannot have a digit for the
leading character for an anchor identifier:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.2
Basic HTML data types
So you could have it a "anchor0" or "top" may be simpler. Now to dump the
empty A element... Simply do this:
<body id="top">
...
To the <a href=#top">top</a> of the page because I cannot find the "home"
key!
Thank you for your helpful response.
Much appreciated.
Adrian.

On http://www.youtube.com they use it at the moment. If you want to
save the logo on the top left - you get a 1x1 px gif:

I haven't looked but it sounds like Youtube is using it as a cover
(layer-over) for their logo image via css.

Yes, could be like that.
In the CSS file you find this: (and much more aswell)
#masthead .logo{
float: left;
display: block;
margin-top: 2px;
margin-bottom: 4px;
}
#masthead .logo img{
width: 84px;
height: 33px;
background: white url(http://s.ytimg.com/yt/img/master-vfl69326.gif)
no-repeat scroll 0 0;
The master-vfl69326.gif is a big gif with many logos, buttons, signs,
etc.
Then they cut I think from the top left { width: 84px; height:
33px; } ... the YouTube - logo.
And then it is placed { margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 4px; } to get
a little space in between the logo and the "container".
The source code of the page has this:
<div id="masthead">
<a href="/" onmousedown="urchinTracker('/Events/Header_3/
YouTubeLogo');" class="logo"><img src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/img/pixel-
vfl73.gif" border="0" alt=""/></a>
