Finding value after the # in a URL | |
Hi all,
I'm working on an AJAX site, and I'm using Dojo and Mootools (both
Javascript) to provide some interactivity. Dojo has a back button fix, but
it requires the use of of a string added onto a URL (I.e. www.site.com/pages/ becomes www.site.com/pages/#page1). I want to harness
this function to allow you to go back to the page you were on. Since AJAX
does not reload a page, a PHP script would only be called when someone did
something to reload the page, such as hitting the back button. I have tried
a few different $_SERVER variables, but none will give me the "#page1", only
the URL up until that point. Can anyone think of a way to grab the entire
URL, with the # modifiers?
Thanks in advance,
Matt White | | | | re: Finding value after the # in a URL

Matt,
Interesting problem. I'm not sure if the #page1 gets stripped at
HTTP...but I am recreating the issue on my server as well....
Any way you can overload that method and change that page value to a
GET value? Then your PHP will receive the value and act accordingly.
I would love to hear what your eventual solution is, though.
Regards,

The problem with a GET value will reload the page- something that I don't
want to do with an AJAX site. Only a # value won't force a reload.

hi ,
using jquery to over come the problem for the particular instance
| | | | re: Finding value after the # in a URL
I'm sure jQuery is a decent framework, but I'm already using two (but both
are superior in their own ways), and a third just seems like it would be
awkward to implement, especially since it shares some of the same namespaces
with Mootools. I'd like a way to implement this is one of the two
frameworks I'm already using, or in PHP.

Damodhar's comment made me think, and I whipped up a piece of JavaScript
that runs only one (when the page is loaded), and that seems to be
accurately giving me the data after the #. Thanks for looking into the
problem anyways!

The #page1 won't be sent to the web server, it's just something that the
browser uses internally
The request (seen in the url field) http://www.site.com/pages/becomeswww...m/pages/#page1
is sent as www.site.com/pages/becomeswww.site.com/pages/

The fragment identifier is not part of the URI. The server will never
see it.
