[SOLVED] Rewrite and Page Anchors

[skyer2000]

The following is my htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*)/(.*) content.php?category=$1&urlrewrite=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

 

What I'm trying to figure out is how to handle page anchors, for example- content.php?category=all&urlrewrite=short#middlepage. How can I go about this? What modifications to the htaccess file?

Anchors aren't sent to the server, they are only used on the client side.

[skyer2000]

Correct, but once the page anchor is clicked, a URL such as /all/short#middle will break the page, and only show everything from the #middle anchor on (everything before it is blank)

Figured it out, I ended up using http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/smoothscroll/ and it worked!

[skyer2000]

I modified the code on the smoothscroll to go to an anchor without ever putting the anchor in the URL, for example /all/short. This breaks screenreaders however, which require /all/short#middle. I've noticed pages use URL's such as /all/short/#middle, but I can't figure out how to do that in the htaccess file.

Any ideas?

[skyer2000]

Because its pretty much impossible to explain clearly, and I've yet to find a solution online after constant searching, here is an example of what is happening.....

 

Click on one of the "Quick Links" to see for yourself (the smoothscroll javascript has nothing to do with the problem)

I hope someone has an idea of why this is happening!

[skyer2000]

Turns out it was a CSS issue,

 

padding-bottom: 1001em;

margin-bottom: -1000em;

 

from #leftnav

 

No idea why it would cause that, but its fixed now.
