I did, but I could not see what you described.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to set
the terminal type to xterm when logging in as a Guest.  However...

I do know that lynx handles <a name="foo">, so I suspect it might be some minor HTML
errors.  Have you tried to run Weblint on it?

Never mind, I did. :D*  Here's the output:

Perhaps once those errors have been cleaned up, lynx will handle it better.  Let me know
what happens,
