2 problems:

the background image at the top does not repeat along the entire top of the page.

i have the image in a background of a div:

#top {
background:url(images/bgtop.jpg) repeat-x;
height:24px;
width:100%;
}

repeat x with 100% width should go across the entire page right? In safari and FF on mac it only spans however big my browser window is...help?

Anchor links:
This is just a one page portfolio, i want the links on the left to go to the anchor links within the page. Is there a way i can control the exact position the browser goes to when a user clicks on a link?
Right now the browser will go to where my is barely on the screen, i want it to bring it all the way to the left. does that make any sense...sorry this is wordy.
