Anchor references in the URL 1

[Verbetex]

Hi

I've got a php script that processes some information etc... when the script finishes, it redirects to a page using:

header("Location: ../" . $address);
Where address would be something like "mypage.phtml#end"

This is where the problem is, when I goto this page using IE, the anchor tag does not get processed and the #end doesn't get passed.

It works in Mozilla Firebird, but not in IE.

Any suggestions of ways to fix this?

Cheers

internet explorer is funny like that, I have had to do this before, what I did was place a little javascript at the end of the page:

<script>
document.location="#end";
</script>

I did it with RRR Auto Sales when you click on View to expand the vehicle information, it jumps to the vehicle:

In genenral as well with Location: give the full URL e.g.

http://www.fred.com,

some web servers (xtami for example) don't handle it well. I belive the HTTP spec says you should do it.
