That's because PHP never sees the #RowNum3 bit. The *browser* strips off anything after (and including) a #, then makes a request for the page with the shortened URL -- in this case, http://www.yourserver.com/yourpage.htm?color=red. When the page resulting from that request is returned to the browser, it's the browser that locates the anchor RowNum3 in the page, and automatically scrolls the page so that that anchor is in view. Short explanation: anchors are handled client-side. > > Thanks, > Scott > > "Scott Fletcher" <scott@abcoa.com> wrote in message > news:20031212142544.74333.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > Whoop!
