John,
the only solution I can offer is to use javascript with a gracefully degrading
experience for the JavaScript disabled. If you are using this on more than one link
it's probably worth putting it into a function. And it works on everything except
Mac/IE (5.0,5.1 and 5.2) which still goes 'almost to the top':
<a href="#top" onclick="if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') == -1){
window.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;}">Back to top</a>

Subject: Re: [WSG] help with fixed positioning in IE
After applying this CSS hack to one of my sites, my "back to top" link
doesn't do anything at all in Win/IE6 (I have an id=top in the BODY tag).
Then there's the fact that part of the scrollbar is hidden beneath the
header...but I think that was already mentioned.
Any suggestions on the "back to top" link?
