How to use page jumps to top of banner and page title?

I've tried using page jumps as instructed by countless websites to "jump to the top of my page":

Source code followed by destination code:

a href="top_page"LINK TEXT HERE/a 
a id="top_page"/a  

However, this process only takes me to the top of the "body" portion of my page. Is there a way to jump to the very top of the whole page (i.e., above the title and banner picture)? In other words, I want to be able to jump so the scroll bar is up the whole way .


(Obviously I could just re-input the whole page's url, but that would essentially be a page reload, not simply moving to the top of the page. Is there no other way?).

Just link to #. That will automatically take you to the top of the page.

Curious. Why are they instructing you to do this?
