Text Turns Red with Anchors?

  I added anchors to my site, as a way to get from one point on a page to another. For instance:

  <a href="#Formal"> Formal Evening Dinner Event</a>

  Which links to

  <h3><a name="Formal">Formal Evening Reception</h3>

  Lower on the page.

  Now, this function works fine. Regardless of how much text is between the link to #formal and the name=”formal”, when I click the link it brings me directly to the Formal Evening Reception heading. The problem is that the text in the middle…is red. Without the code, the text is the normal font color for my site, which is black. However, when I add the two lines above to the page, whenever I put the mouse over any of the text on the page, it turns from black to red. Clicking on the text does nothing. How can I get rid of the color change?

  Let me know if you need more details.
