Say I have an anchor somewhere on a different page:
<A NAME="blah">
On the page I'm currently on, I want to go that that anchor on that different page while also passing a GET parameter, such as, for example:
<A HREF="otherpage.htm#blah?data=1234">Good Stuff!</A>
This doesn't seem to be working for me. It loads the page and passes the variable but doesn't go to the anchor. I've searched for examples on the anchor tag, and there's tons of them, but nobody talks about jumping to an anchor in a page while also passing parameters in the URL.
The only way to pass data with an anchor tag is to put them in the query string. If you have a lot of data and don't want it to appear in the address window, why do you want to use an anchor tag? You could always submit a form from the onclick event of an anchor tag.
href”, append the variable to it (Here we have used a variable named “XYZ”). Then we need to append the value to the URL. Now our URL is ready with the variable and its value appended to it. In the example below, we will append a variable named 'XYZ' and its value is 55.
You can't have a link go to two places, but you can have it go to a php script that redirects to the second page when it's done doing whatever you need it to do.
The <a> HTML element (or anchor element), with its href attribute, creates a hyperlink to web pages, files, email addresses, locations in the same page, or anything else a URL can address.
The bookmark always goes last.
<A HREF="otherpage.htm?data=1234#blah">Good Stuff!</A>
