Re: [PLUG] HTML Anchor & Post Data

[Doug Stewart <zamoose@gmail.com>]

It's actually a GET request, not a POST one. 

Short answer:

Anchor goes last.

I've written a project management program that uses a web interface.   One of
the things I want to do is include a link to an anchor on the page, so that
the page automatically scrolls down to the <a name="location"></a> anchor.

However, I also want to include data in the URL line as part of a "post"
process from a form.  

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to make both of these things happen at
the same time.

For example:

"http://www.somebody.com/cgi-bin/Project.py?ProjectNumber=2014-0001" works fine
to automatically load the page for this project number.

Likewise, "http://www.somebody.com/cgi-bin/Project.py#Anchor" automatically
jumps to the anchor location.

But I can't combine the 2!  If I try "http://www.somebody.com/cgi-bin/Project.py#Anchor?ProjectNumber=2014-0001", the project number is not
picked up by the python script.


Anybody got any ideas?
