HTML anchor links not working (won't scroll down to content).  Why?

Hi.
We have a portlet that simply pulls in an external web site so it can be viewed and accessed within our portal.
The navigation bar within this website using HTML anchors ("a href='#stuff' and "a name='stuff'") to let the user jump/scroll to a particular part of the page. The anchors work when the web site is viewed outside of the portal but don't work when the site is within the portlet window.
Anyone know why that is, and if there's a way to get those anchors to work?
Thanks.

Never mind: I figured it out.
Because of the way the anchor links in question were generated, they contained the entire URL of the current page with the anchor attached to the end of it. So when the portal rendered the URL, it rendered it in its normal JavaScript style:
javascript:void(pt_999.refresh('https://servername/portal/server.pt/gateway/...pagename?urlvar=foo#anchor'));
Once I changed the anchors to only contain the anchor itself ("a href='#anchorname#'), the portal did not convert the URL, allowing the anchor to work on the normal page.

  • I am using Muse v7.1 Build 329 anchor links not working

    Hi
    I am using Muse v7.1 and have found that anchor links from buttons and from text boxes fail to work in IE v10 but all work fine with Chrome.
    I have seen comments from others that if I use a space in the code it will work but the whole point of Muse is that I don't need to code in Dreamweaver.

    Hi
    I have uploaded the html output to http://www.cloud-online.co.uk/index.html
    The links that were not working locally in IE seem to be working OK when on a server.
    I had only been testing the results locally until now.  Attached are the output from the Muse file.

  • ANCHOR LINKS NOT WORKING!...STILL :(

    Well another Muse update has come out and to much disappointment the same issues still exist with anchors. They do not work in Safari 6 running Mountain Lion, or iOS. Anchors in iOS have been an issue since the Muse Beta days... so I am now starting to doubt a fix for anchors in Safari.
    What is so frustrating is how an addition to the "Hyper link" Menu that allows for the downloading of files has made its way in, yet a bug in the exported Javascript file from muse that controls the scrolling of anchors has yet to be resolved.

    This problem should be fixed! Im using Anchors too in a vertical scroll page ive been working on for quite some time. The idea was to make it suiteable for not only safari, firefox etc but also ios devices. Now the whole site is unusable and since im doing this for a client my job is at stake. I went from dreamweaver and wordpress since i thought muse was a great tool concidering my background in visuals. I have also convinced others to convert to muse... quess i shouldnt. This problem or Bug seems to be here to stay. I've seen on the forum, several times, that a the Muse team are working on a fix but nothing is happening!
    Now with the new release i was sure that this bug would dissapear in ios and Mountain Lion, but as desmo848 said... nothing.
    Can the muse team give us an approximate answer on when its likely that this will be fixed? I have waited for a long time now and maybe i should just give up, leave muse and rebuild everything in another software.
    Perhaps you could provide us with a temporary workaround, if there's one... some code.. until this is solved?

  • Why is my named anchor link not working

    Can someone please help.
    I am a novice at Dreamweaver - but my website works well with almost all links working.
    Situation :
    The problem lies on the following page  www.ozonesystems.co.uk/airunits
    There are 7 links in the table which point to Named Anchors
    While browsing in Internet Explorer, all links work perfectly
    While in MozillaFirefox or Google Chrome, only the fist 2 links work. The remaining 5 links do not redirect me to the appropriate section (anchor) on the page. There is no error message.
    Can anybody please help with this problem?
    Thanks - Roy Marnewick

    Hi Jon
    Many thanks for your reply and comments.
    I am a real novice. I used ApDiv's only because I had a problem in getting images and text to reside where I intended them to be placed - and this was the only way which I discovered would achieve the result I required. I do not want to re-invent the wheel, so I will just live with problems which may appear to those using different size text, and hope there are minimal visitors doing this!
    I will visit the link which you have provided to resolve the minor errors. Thanks for the link.
    It is good to hear that (hopefully) the problem is not as widespread as I thought it might be as you did not experience a problem while browsing with Firefox36 and Chrome40. I will try and clear the browser cache as suggested - do not know how - but will try and find out.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Links not working on one page, have no idea why!

    Hi there.
    Can anyone help me? I made a website in iweb and when I uploaded it I noticed a problem on my photo page. I have no idea what is wrong and I have looked at the code and can't see the cause of the problem. Can anyone help me?
    This is the page with the error http://www.harley.island-doobsters.co.uk/Photos/Photos.html
    Basically the button bones don't work and I have no idea why. They work on every other page and even the other pages in the photo section. I am completely stuck as to why its doing this.
    I did another website with a similar set up and it never happened there, which leaves me even more confused. Any help would be much appreciated as its driving me crazy!
    Thank you.

    There appears to be an object, text box or whatever,  overlapping the links.  Select each link and use the Arrange ➙ Send to Front menu. Also make sure the links are all in the header and partially in the header and body sections.
    You can see the difference when you do a Select All on each page:
    Photos page:

    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");

  • Flash player file working in HTML but same HTML code is not working in JDEV

    Hello,
    I have a flash player file which is working just fine in a plain HTML. But not working at all in Jdeveloper's .jspx file. I have no idea what is the issue. Please help.

    Don't have an answer for you, but you can put tags around your code so it's more readable... just use left-bracket code right-bracket and left-bracket code slash right-bracket around your code like this:

  • Flash Global Security & Links Not Working?

    Hi all,
    I am absolutely near some sort of breakdown with my Flash website....I really hope someone can help!
    I am building my portfolio website; I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 (on Mac) and inserting Flash animations in the centre of a table in each Dreamweaver page. All was working fine until I built the Contact page animation on Flash last night. I linked in some external websites to my Blog, Flickr and Twitter and also need a button to launch the user's default mail client.
    When I tested the animation (CMD+ENTR) in Flash the links appeared to be working, if after a few clicks. I then inserted the Contact animation into the Contact.html page on Dreamweaver and tested it in Safari. A dialogue box came up regarding something about security settings and Flash 8 (makes no sense as I am using Flash 9); and I ended up on the Global Security Setttings panel page on the Adobe website. I selected the entire folder the website is in on my hard drive under "Trust Files in these Locations". Now the ENTIRE website's flash animations are not working. There are links to internal pages of the site (i.e. a link to the "Contact" page in the animaiton on the Home page) which are now not working either. No error messages come up when I test the movie in CS3 either. I have refreshed Safari, restarted the Mac and redone the folder on the Global Security Settings panel. Also loaded the entire website onto a PC this morning, all links not working either.
    Actionscript 3 on the Contact page looks like this:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    //---Blog Button---\\
    var getBlog: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.myblogsdomain.com");
    Blg_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick);
    function eClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getBlog, "_self");
    //---Twitter Button---\\
    var getTwitter: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.twitter.com/mydomain");
    Twt_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick1);
    function eClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getTwitter, "_self");
    //---Flickr Button---\\
    var getFlickr: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.flickr.com/photos/mydomain");
    Flkr_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick2);
    function eClick2(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getFlickr, "_self");
    //---Email Button---\\
    var getMail: URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
    Eml_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick3);
    function eClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(getMail, "_self");
    I'm not 100% sure if the e-mail AS3 I set up is correct, but as none of the links are working I can't test it. I cannot provide a link to the website as it isn't uploaded yet, and I don't really want to upload it not working properly.
    Any help at all would be gratefully received, I'm really, really on the brink of some sort of breakdown. Thanks.

    Thanks Samuel.Wong and Ned Murphy for the information.
    I'm not actually sure what happened but my website suddenly started working again today, I think possibly by selecting "Always Allow" on the Global Security Page as well as inserting every individual file as well as the folder under "Trusted Locations" has also done the trick.
    The external links appear to work when I test the movie in Flash CS3, but the same warning comes up once the movie is inserted into a Dreamweaver html page and tested in Safari. However I think when the links (all except the email ) appear to be working in Flash then it should be just fine once uploaded onto the server. Many thanks for your advice once again.

  • Adobe Edge links not working

    Yeah I have also experienced links not working when I import my .oam file from Adobe Edge Animate also. Is there anything the Muse team is doing to fix this issue? I need a response from you guys by the end of the week. my company website is malfunctioning due to issues with your software. If there is some sort of hotfix please let us know.

    When you install the software illegally, using a volume license, there is a script you can run that will enter all of the adobe servers into your local DNS hosts file so the software can be activated. This makes accessing those domains impossible. This scenario fits the description of your issue, not suggesting anything beyond that.
    The hosts file is in /private/etc/hosts and can be accessed through the terminal:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    If you see a bunch of adobe servers in there, that is your problem.

  • Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

    Hello there,
    Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
    is working fine with environment  Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
    Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sushil

    Hi  Sushil,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
    from 2010 to 2013.
    For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
    Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
    files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
    1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
    2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
    The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
    it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
    Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
    To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
    Get-SPWopiZone
    The result will be one of the following:.
    internal-https
    internal-http
    external-https
    external-http
    Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
    Get-SPWOPIBinding
    In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
    the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
    If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.
    For more information, please refer to the article:

  • Fresh Install HCM 9.1 but Links not working. Help please

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to make a switch from SAP to PeopleSoft. I tought it easier to install PSFT since the number of source to install is much less than SAP. However, I kept getting same error where the links not working no matter which environment I tried to install.
    I downloaded all software from eDelivery.
    HCM 9.1, PTOOLS 8.52, Oracle 11g 64 bit, Oracle Client 32 bit.
    First Try:
    Install on windows 7 64bit. Everything works fine until first login to the PSFT and all links not working.
    Suggestion from Hakan is to apply the patch and gave me a link to the old FTP site. I downloaded the 85209 patch but got password.
    Finally I managed to get a customer ID from a friend and downloaded Patch 85211 and applied. But got java error so I scrapped it.
    Anyway, Gasparotto said the environment is not certified and will not fix my problem with the patch.
    Second Try:
    Installed Virtual Box.
    Installed Windows 2008 R2 and applied the SP1.
    Installed everything all over again.
    Ensured the PTWEBSERVER password similar the username.
    Everything works fine but when login to PSFT, again..... links not working and see on the bottom left corner there are some javascript error where they cannot find certain peoplesoft objects..
    Just upgraded to IE 9 because I read somewhere IE 8 is not certified.
    Tried to login again, no error message and everything looks fine but... links not working.
    Logs also looks normal to me.
    Does anyone ever encountered similar issues before?
    Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?
    Thanks,

    I understand that's rather frustrating for people who wants to jump to Peoplesoft. I don't know SAP, but here you go, Peoplesoft is not a simple toy.
    Unfortunately, if you have no access to My Oracle Support to get the Peoplesoft patches, you have no way but work on Peoplesoft OVM (free of use), and to use them on VirtualBox, the Jim's articles are worth to follow.
    Nicolas.
    PS: @Jim, thanks for the kind words.
    My last install guide is quite old now (PT8.50/Linux), even though it did not change very much within the last tools 8.52. But seeing the number of time such questions have asked over here (PT8.52 on Windows), I'm thinking to write one more, that time on Windows.

  • Links not working correctly in PCUI for CRM

    Hi All,
    We are implementing mySAP CRM 4.0 through PCUI on Portal
    EP6 SP14.
    I have integrated the CRM Business Package 60.2 in Portal.
    Proper User has been created in the backend and assigned Sales Manager Role both in the portal and in the CRM backend.
    We are facing problem of links not working in the CRM Contents. When we click on the links in the CRM Portal Contents ( BSPs) we don’t get the desired application opening.
    When we click any links in the BSP's ( Activity Links in Opportunity Management BSP ) we get a blank page popped up.
    I have the screen shots with me. Any one responding can get the screen shots from me.
    Thanks in Advance
    Rohit

    Rohit,
    Have you maintained configuration in (transaction CRMC_BLUEPRINT_C --> Navigation (URL Generation) --> Assign Object Method to Role)? Be sure that the role that you are using is present and ID Page/Service field correctly points to the pcd url for your portal.
    When testing, it may be helpful to set parameter CRM_URL_BUFFER_OFF = X on the user profile (SU01) to turn off the url buffer. That way changes made above are immediate.
    Best Regards,
