Topic: javascript error I can't figure out (Page 1 of 1)

Hey all,

I've got a page that has multiple forms on it... when I submit one of the forms I'm using the php header function to pass it back to the submitting page...

header("Location: /path/page.php?var=result#godown");

... for some reason (only in IE6 so far) if I try to use the anchor reference above "#godown" it kills all the javascript on the page and gives me an error, "Permission denied". If I remove the anchor reference it works fine but of course doesn't bump the user down to where they were in the first place. I'm not too worried about it as it only happens in IE6 but I was just curious if there is something simple I'm missing ?

Any chance to see the page in question ?

What do the JS do anyway ?

Hi poi,

Thanks for your time on this... unfortunately it's all on my local machine. The javascript that is being killed is very simple; just an image rollover script and a submit form on change script.

If it's local, it might be IE6 that is over zealous about security ...

Also, if the script is purely a rollover, you can certainly get rid of it and use CSS no preload rollovers.

Is it the entire script that is "killed" or just a specific function ? if it's the latter, try to comment each function and see where IE6 ticks.

Not sure whether I'm on the right track or not, but I think anchors and fragment identifiers are considered a fully client side feature (anchors are never sent in requests, to give an example. The server never knows about the anchor navigation, only the browser does.). As such, it might be that Internet Explorer actually doesn't allow them from the server, either.

Correct. There must be an RFC about that, somewhere

That makes sense... thanks for the help.
