The Blog of Lucien Stals

I have a page I am deep linking into named anchors.

I want to know what anchor is being linked to.

The URL looks like http://host.name.com/appname/categories.cfm#category_19?q=6

#cgi.host# will give me the host name (”host.name.com”). #cgi.SCRIPT_NAME# will give me the script name (”appname/categories.cfm”). #CGI.QUERY_STRING# will give me the query string (”q=6″).

But how the hell do I get the big in the middle? (”category_19″).

Grr. Not happy Jan

PS: Javascript gives me exactly what I want (location.href).
I was hoping to avoid a client side solution, but were using enough dhtml that if JS isn’t enabled, the location will be the smallest of my problems

The first story that caught my eye today was about the Boeing ‘Laser Gunship’. What a strange new (or is it new?) world we find ourselves in.
