The question wasn't about "top of page" links (though it might easily be
misread that way, due to the somewhat strange formulation) but about a link
that points to a section (element) of the current page. The OP apparently
wants that section to appear, after following the link, at the very of the
canvas (though the confuses the canvas with the screen, perhaps because
someone made a nasty trick on his browser and prevented it from running in
any more but fullscreen :-) ).

That would be a frequently asked question too, and the answer is that
normally it appears there whatever you do, except when the destination is
near the end of the page, in which case you should just accept that. (Adding
dummy content or margin at the end is not advisable.) In any case, this is a
browser feature that might (at most) be affected using something
browser-specific.
