wildteen88 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The links Namtip suggested will not help you. :shrug: Is it possible to pass variables through #anchors for example <a href="#edit?id=xxx"> and if so how? No, it is not possible to send variables after the # sign. Anything after the # will not be sent in the HTTP request to the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litebearer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 random thoughts... 1. create a variable that is combination of the anchor tag name and the id (ie anchor_name ."|" . id) 2. use normal url variable pass - using the comboname as the data being passed 3. at the target page break the combo back to two variables 4. use <body onLoad="window.location = '#anchor_name'"> in your target page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You can code your link as <a href="file.php?id=xxx#edit">Edit</a> Which will work fine, it'll pass the id of XXX to your PHP script and go to the anchor named as edit. Just you cant code it as <a href="file.php#edit?id=xxx">Edit</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
