I  just tried your sample page in safari 2.0.4.  The reload button  
changed to the stop icon, but nothing else bad seemed to happen.  I  
also tried it in a recent Webkit version and the icon did not  
change.  I tried changing your file so the hash was set only once,  
but it seems that safari doesn't even like that.  The worst part  
about this bug seems to be that you can no longer reload the page by  
clicking the refresh button.  Instead, you have to click in the  
address bar and press return.  Having the hash in a link <a  
href="#bottom">click</a> seems to work without triggering the error,  
but then you end up trying to simulate a mouse click with is a pain  
to do cross-browser.

If you just want the page to scroll, you could use something like this

function bottH() {
   window.scrollTo(0, document.body.clientHeight);
}

function upH() {
   window.scrollTo(0, 0);
}
