If you look closely at your examples that you are posting, you can see in the syntax of your code that there are red colors surrounding the element tags you have for your anchor element. That red color indicates that there is an error an that is where the error lies.

If you still can't spot the mistake, you have accidentally made a couple of mistakes:

<"> <!-- This is a non existent element or you have left it blank by mistake. -->

Remove that code above as it is invalid.

You have missed putting a space between the opening anchor element and its first attribute (the href) to separate the element from its attribute. You have also missed the end <strong>">"</strong> from the opening anchor element before the link text.

<a href="#top">Go back to the top of the page.</a>
