html#anchor use to be very problematic few years back.
Browsers didn't like it and even tho
you made one browser like it, it would stop working in
another. We had all kind of work around,
from javascritp to url encoding. Perhaps give it a try and
see what works for you:
getURL("javascript:top.left.location.href='test.html#anchor';
void(0);");
Keep in mind , the functionality will vary based on browser
version also due to
new security settings, you might not be able test it locally,
might need to upload
to server.
If using URL encoding, replace the # with %23:
getURL ("some.html%23anchor");
