URL to anchor leads to top of page instead

Hi there,
I have below basic knowledge of html, yet I am having to work some magic on my organisation’s website. I am creating a new page and would like to be able to link to specific parts of it. I have followed these simple instructions to create anchors http://help.typepad.com/anchor-tags.html and, whilst my links do take you to the right page (hooray!) they don’t take you to where the anchor is. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any idea what it could be?

I think i know what you are trying to achieve, you need element with an id:

<h2 id="example">header</h2>

and then link to this element:

<a href="#example">go to header</a>

yet for some reason i can not get this working right now, hold on
