hawkagent Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Hello, Sometimes when i'm browsing, I see this '#'-symbol in the URL, i was wondering what scripting language uses this symbol? I see it for example on facebook: www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php or on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/WongFuProductions#p/u/1/eivjMgWu3JA As a matter of fact i'm trying to build this way of youtube is loading pages into my own website, what i want is like when I click a video under 'uploads' on that youtube page, the videopage loads at the left side, and the url changes, so I can share this video with my friends by sending them the URL. I hope you guys understand and can help me on the way. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 A # within a url generally represents a named anchor (used by html). However, what you see facebook and youtube using is probably customized to there particular systems. it could be used by any language.

hawkagent Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Ah yea right. How do I use these anchors to load another page without reloading the whole page (like they do)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
