Hi Jon, you ask:

<a> is an anchor tag for a link, in this case a link target.

[It has nothing whatsoever to do with the table tag that follows it]

Having this at the top of a page allows you to write elsewhere - typically,
at the bottom - a second anchor tag aiming at the target, as in:

<a href="#top">Back To Top</a>

Hope this helps.
