Dynamically jumping to section in page with #link
Hi

I'm trying to pass a #link thorough from one page to another which goes through a linkSQL script.

A the moment I've got it added to the end of the hyper link like this:

Code:
<a href="admin.cgi?do=plugin&plugin=EasyPoll&func=poll&lst=gp#30">View Linked</a>

and in the page the script returns I've got this which is dynamically produced about 1/2 way down the page...

Code:
<a name="30"></a>

The problem is the page doesn't jump down that section when it loads for some reason.

Does anyone know how to get it working through the LinkSQL system?

Thanks!

Hi,

Don't you just need #30 and not the full URL?

i.e

<a href="#30">..</a>

?

Cheers

hi andy - the link isn't on the same page otherwise yes that would work. What I'm doing is passing some information back to the script which is dynamically returning another page, and it's within that new page that I want to automatically jump down to a particular section.

Just ran into this last week.

The #tag is not passed through the script.

You can make a change to Jump.pm by adding the line in red, just below the line in bold at the end of the file.

Quote:


($goto =~ m,^\w+://,) or ($goto = "http://$goto");
####
($IN->param('Name_Tag')) && ($goto .= '#' . $IN->param('Name_Tag'));
####


And, in your links, if you want to jump to a tag, add :

jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>;Name_Tag=<%field_for_name_tag%>
