Linking to anchor tags within an iframe

I have a list of links on a web page containing an iframe. These links are meant to target specific anchor tags within the HTML document that is loaded into the iframe. The effect I am after is similar to the anchor tag links you often find an an FAQ page, where clicking on the question makes the document jump down to the answer. I am trying to do the same thing, but have the iframe text jump to the appropriate anchor tag (see code sample below). Unfortunately, the links do not seem to be working as I expected them to. Any suggestions?

Code snippets from parent page:

you could try just the anchor name in the url

My mistake. The original method does work, I mistakenly was targeting a copy of the document that did not have the anchor tags. I knew that I put them in, but it was in a different copy of the document. Doh! Too many late nights.

Thanks for the help!
