Description
Using the Internal Link button to make an anchor to the top of the current page creates code like:
<a title="FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS" class="internal-link" href="">(back to top)</a>
But upon saving href="" is stripped out.
If you manually add # between the quotes - so href="#" - the href tag is no longer stripped out.

I can't see anything in the HTML spec which would make this behaviour wrong: there is nothing which says an empty href links to the *top* of a page. However, I agree that this behaviour isn't the friendliest possible so I've changed it and if the 'make links relative' code would result in href="" it now sets it to href="#" instead.
Also fixed a bug which showed up during testing where opening the drawer while an empty href is selected caused an attributeError. SVN revision 51158
