Similar to anchor tag to be used in OAF

Hi all,
There is an OAF page with number of links on it.
On clicking a particular link the corresponding results will be displayed below in the table(which is on the same page).For viewing the results the user has to scroll down as the screen has many links on it.
The requirement is..instead of scrolling down and viewing the results, the user wants something like anchor tag , on clicking of which it should take to the results section without scrollong down.
how can this be achieved?

Check the quick links section in Chapter 4 of the dev guide

Not able to open document using anchor tag in firefox

Hello Friends,
I would really need your help in solving this issue.My application is deployed in server machine.
I'm accessing the application through fire fox. In my application, i have a link where i need to open a document on click of it.
For this, i am using html anchor tag.
Eg:
Test
where IP is the server machine address and dir is the shared directory.
It works in IE but didn't work in fire fox. Please help me out on to fix it.
Cheers,
Cap

Try out to open doc using following link, {color:#ff0000}*use 5 back slashes instead of 2*
{color}Test Link
once you done the code change, close the browser and open a new browser and try it.

Anchor tags are not working on internet explorer when using touch devices

Hi,
I have a simple anchor tag like <a href=http://www.google.com></a>
Using a mouse there is no problem but when I use a touch device (windows 8.1/windows Phone 8.1), all that will happen when people touch it is that the link will be highlighted.
I don't want to highlight it, I just want the link to open.
Double clicking the link will zoom in the page. It takes several attempts tapping the link to actually open it... this is VERY frustrating.
How can I remove this highlighting non-sense?
I found an article that seems to indicate this was done on purpose:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2013/07/31/ie11-touch-browsing-for-today-s-web-and-beyond.aspx
It's a total failure if you ask me and it is very frustrating to use my site on a touch device.
Anyone has any idea on how to make links behave normally?
Best Regards,
Peter

seems that it is something in SharePoint that is causing this behavior
So you would probably be better off posting in a Sharepoint forum. They would be more familiar with all the products involved. This is an example where newsgroup cross-posting would be useful but it does not exist in forums.
Otherwise, sounds like you are going to have to find the implementation involved and then devise a workaround for it. Is there a publicly accessible example of the coding used for what you are seeing? You could use the Developer Tools (or View
Source) to try to look at it yourself.
For a guess it may involve Active Scripting. If the link can be used even if Active Scripting is disabled you could achieve that result simply by changing the security level or zone that the site is regarded with.
BTW with your example link above I have the opposite problem. I can't touch it to try to select it without launching it. Here's a workaround for that: select a word before the link, use the selection's wheels to extend it to include
the link, then reduce it to include only the link, then, I can use press and old on the selection without launching the link. (In fact since I always leave press and hold disabled I used my pen with its right-click barrel button to see the selection's
menu though if I use my pen's barrel button, I don't need to make the selection to see just a reduced menu which would be sufficient to use the link.) In any case, I imagine that just as I can do a press and hold on the selected text of
the link without launching it you may just as easily be able to do a press and hold to see the selection's menu to allow you to launch its link.

Use Regular Expressions to remove open/close anchor tags but leave the text contained within alone

I have a large file with lots of anchor tags. Many of the anchor tags have no HREF specified and do nothing. They aren't hurting anything, either, but I'd like to get rid of them, leaving the anchor tags that do have HREF alone, and leaving the text between the tags alone. Here's an example: <a>A resident or municipality may seek to vacate 25.01.01</a>.
I've come up with this to identify those tags: <\a>(.)*</\a> and it works, it finds them, but what should I put in the Replace area in order to remove the open/close tags but leave the text as it is?

I'm a reg ex idiot. So I use the Search Specific Tag feature whenever I can. See screenshot, hit Replace All. But please do this on a backed-up document to be sure it does what you want.

Using Anchor Tag in SharePoint Global and Current Navigation

I have a site page set up for News articles within our company that get created every month. We are using the current navigation as sort of a list with the corresponding months that the articles were created. So for instance
Jan
Feb
March
April
and so on
What needs to happen is that when a user selects the month, it will scroll down to the #anchor which corresponds to the month.
When entering the url (http://contoso.com/default.aspx#March) into the current navigation, and hitting ok. The main link remains (http://contoso.com/default.aspx)
without the anchor tag being kept. Any Ideas?
Thanks, Danny Hickman IT Support Specialist

For a start, try adding a content editor webpart to the page where you want the navigation change.
Edit the webpart and under source editor, copy paste the code below using script tags.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js">
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$anchorResults = $('a').filter(function() {
var txt = $(this).text();
return (txt.length > 1 && txt[0] == '#');
$.each($anchorResults, function (index, value) {
var txt = $(value).text().substring(1);
var href = $(value).attr('href') + '#' + txt.replace(/ /g, '');
$(value).text( txt );
$(value).attr('href', href);
</script>
Let me know how it works out!

Html text anchor tag uses the whole line

Here's one. When I pull in html formatted text into a text
field and set the paragraph to align right, the whole line is set
as a link.
Is there anyway to make it so the link is not made for the
whole line?
Example:
<p align="right"><a href="link">Link
Text</a></p>
Any help would be appreciated.
Wally

TIm,
Thanks for doing that. I came up with the same results. Since
I'm loading everything from external files, I wanted to shy away
from escaping all those characters. But, you definately helped me
come up with a solution.
I took some of my text links and dropped them all into a test
movie I had been working with and had accidently left the
<title> tag in the head, which shows up in the html. Needless
to say, the text "untitled document" did NOT have the hyperlink
applied to it.
So I got to thinking, "What if I put text before and after
the anchor tag." And sure enough. NO HYPER LINK on the new text. So
then I got to thinking, "Hmm. Maybe I'll just put a character in
before and after the hyperlink and set it's color to white so it
won't show up."
Sure enough it worked. So, that's my fix/workaround. If you
have a hyperlink that is aligned right and it shows up on the whole
line, put a character before and after the hyperlink and make it's
color the same as the background.
It worked, but
HELLO ADOBE / FLASH TEAM!!! Please fix the bug and implement
HTML 4.0 or above so we don't have to come up with these crazy
workarounds,
please.
Thanks everybody who helped out on this. Great community!

How to use anchor tag in JSFF fragment inside a BTF?

Hi,
I have a JSFF fragment as a default activity of my BTF. In this JSFF i have to create a anchor tag that will have a Link to my JSP from where i have to redirect to some other application. The JSP is in my code base. I have put an anchor tag and have linked this to my JSP page present in my code base. When i would run my application and click on this anchor link that i can see on my region thus created, a new window(as desired would open) and
HTTP 404 would come to me.
I don't know how to make this link working. Please help.
Does this have a relation with BTF flow?
Edited by: Avi on Dec 6, 2012 8:03 AM

Hi Shay,
I just gave My Data . The JSP resides in parallel with my JSFF fragments. But still i don't know why this behavior is coming to me.

Anchor tag passing "this" as a parameter not working

i have an anchor tag that is calling a javascript function passing in the parameter 'this'. it seems that 'this' is undefined and not the anchor object, why is this? how do i pass the anchor object in a similar way to using 'this'?
this is my code i am using
href="javascript:show_region(this);
whatever i do to the passed in object it says it is undefined

managed to get it working by using onclick instead of href

Anchor tag in txt file

is there any way that i could include a link that has
punctuation characters inside of an anchor tag of an externally
loaded txt file. something like this <a href='
http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/leah%2Bdizon/video/x18dj1_leah-dizon'>click</a >.
i noticed that txt files loaded into flash seem to break at any
point where more unusual punctuation characters are
included.

This is such a great solution--thanks so much for sharing. I'm having a problem with the name of my collapsible panels (which operate similarly to Tabbed Panels, as far as I understand). Basically I am trying to use anchor tags and my goal is to create a hyperlink on page 1 that points to content within a spry widget on page 2 of my webpage. I obviously want the spry widget on page 2 to open up on click and the user to be taken to where my anchor tag is located. In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/209107#209107), Mr. Celic seems to indicate using something like this:
<a href="#anchorname" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(2);">
My exact code is like this: <a href="pagetwo.html#myanchortag" onclick="CollapsiblePanel1.open();">content here</a>
The good news is that this works, but my problem is that page 1 of my website also has a CollapsiblePanel1 so when I click on the link above, CollapsiblePanel1 on page 1 opens, not the CollapsiblePanel1 on page 2 of my site. I went into page 2 and clicked on "CollapsiblePanel1" and in the "Properties" panel renamed it to "CollapsiblePanel11" then changed my code to
<a href="pagetwo.html#myanchortag" onclick="CollapsiblePanel11.open();">content here</a>
but that didn't do a thing! I'm super stuck and don't know how else to rename the collapsible panels or how to get it to work.
One thing I can't figure out from the original solution (<a href="#" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(2);">) is what is "showPanel(2)"? Where did she get this from/where can I find the equivalent for my collapsible panel spry? This could be where I'm going wrong.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Anchor Tag In Tabbed Panel Content

Open Accordian Panel via anchor tag

I have about 20 accordian panels stuffed with content. Is it
possibe for a user to click a link on the same page and be carried
to the specific panel? -- having it open would be a bonus.
thanks for your time

I had a similar question. I'm trying to use named anchors on
one page in a site to to open specific panels on a different page,
but I'm not having much success. Depending on where I place the
anchor tags, I can get ALL of the panels with anchor tags to open
when the link is clicked. However, I can't seem to make a single
link open a single panel. My javascript skills are minimal -- I can
edit from examples, but I don't have the knowledge to write code
from scratch. Any help or advice is most appreciated.

Anchor tag not working on touch device

Hi,
I'm having a problem on one of my SharePoint sites.I add following anchor tag to my page
<a href="https://www.google.com">test<a>
When using the mouse there is no problem but when using a touch device (windows 8.1/windows Phone 8.1) there is a problem with tapping the link. When you tap on a link, it will highlight the link rather than opening the link. It takes repeated attempts to
make the link work.
This makes the site unusable on Windows Phone 8!
When I use Chrome to access my site on my windows 8 tablet... everything works as expected!!!
I have another SharePoint site that uses the same base template (OSLO) and is quite similar but that doesn't have the problem. As you can imagine, comparing two SharePoint sites for this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Has anyone experienced this and/or knows the solution?
Best Regards,
Peter
EDIT: if anyone runs into this issue... I worked arround the problem by adding a javascript to the onclick event that will navigate to the url. It seems the javascript does execute, whereas the href itself is ignored on touch screens. By setting href and
onclick on each anchor I'm hoping to avoid any downsides for desktop users. It is a hack at best... so i would still like to hear it if there's another way.

Hi,
I add the anchor tag into the page using SharePoint designer 2013 and test in my Windows Phone, it does work.
If add the link from my content editor web part or from ribbon, two clicks or more would be required.

From your description, you want to add a help link(read data from other list) into new form page.
The following code for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(AddHelpLink, "sp.js");
function AddHelpLink() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list= context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("configurationList");
var camlQuery= new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml("<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>Help</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>");
this.listItems = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(this.listItems,'Include(Title,URL)');
context.executeQueryAsync(function(){
var ListEnumerator = listItems.getEnumerator();
while(ListEnumerator.moveNext())
var currentItem = ListEnumerator.get_current();
var title=currentItem.get_item("Title");

CS5.5 Phonegap - Anchor Tags Don't Work

So I made a test Android app using the phonegap template and it seemed to work okay. Now I'm trying to add anchor tags to link a table of contents from the top to text found lower on the page like this:
<a href="#cq">Clinical Question</a>
<a id="cq">Clinical Question:</a>
But I get "ERROR LOADING PAGE" when testing in multi-view and web browser.
External links work just fine though like:
<a href ="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe</a><br>
I'm assuming it has something to do with how the page/site is saved, does anyone have a solution?

That's correct. The jQuery Mobile framework uses IDs to load page blocks in multiple-page files. You cannot link to an ID within an individual page block. See this page in the jQuery Mobile documentation for a detailed explanation: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/#docs/pages/docs-pages.html. Confirmation that you can't do what you're trying to achieve is near the bottom of the page.
