This seems like such a silly thing, but I can't figure out why I'm having problems with it.
I have a dynamically-created list on a web site's home page, a list of recent news items being drawn from a MySQL database. Each item is a link to the announcements.php page which lists everything and all the text associated with each one. I want when an item is clicked on the home page for the browser to go to announcemets.php#itemID. I can't get it to work.
The item on the bottom of the page (beyond the borders of the bottom of the screen for most monitors) has an itemID=13. So, when the item clicked on the home page, the URL is announcements.php#13. The page just loads normally, without taking me to item #13 at the bottom of the page. I have set up an anchor before each of the items, so, by all accounts, it looks like it should work. When I hard code an itemID on the page (say, go to announcements.php#99 when 99 is the anchor name at the bottom of the page), it works fine. But all the dynamic ones don't work. Even if I set up a static link on the page to #13, it doesn't go to item #13. It doesn't do anything.
It's such a simple thing, I feel I may kick myself when I figure it out. But it's baffling me a little. Any ideas?
