<a href="#" name="hen"> should be <a href="#hen" name="hen">

By the way it's good practice to give your anchors a defined width. If a visitor is tabbing using certain versions of IE and clicks an anchor link, the visual focus of the page moves to the anchor, but the tabbing focus remains on the anchor link (back at the top of the page), so when the user resumes tabbing visual focus returns to the top of the page. This is especially true if you're using an anchor as a Skip Navigation link.
