This is just a guess, since I have not seen your code, but a possibility is
that some of your named anchors have letters with different case (uppercase
vs lowercase).  Netscape as always been case-sensitive when it comes to
named anchors (as far as I know), while it seems that Explorer is not.

For example, if you had

<A href="#whatever">bleah</A> and the corresponding <A
name="Whatever">blah</a>,

it should work with Explorer but not with Netscape.

I hope this helps
