As you discovered,   href="#top"   will do it. You can also use the shorthand:   href="#".

And for the benefit of other readers, there's a quote mark missing in the "alt" attribute, and the paragraph tag should only cover the line that had no tags to start with.

You may have an issue elsewhere. Start a fresh question where you can show your complete code.
