I am working on adding functionality to where the URL takes in a parameter

  • 0

I am working on adding functionality to where the URL takes in a parameter as defined by an MVC style looking way. eg. (www.myurl.com/#viewName/Id/12345 ) where 12345 is the corresponding Id number that I want to get.

I have this functionality working. I am using Internet Explorer 7.

My issue is that when a user attempts to enter a new query string id into the URL, the page doesn’t refresh when the user hits enter or the refresh button. (The user can navigate to the url/#/Id/12345 only when opening a new window/tab)

Does anyone know if this is a feature that doesn’t work in Flex or if there is some code or configuration needed to allow this? Thanks.

    You see, the way how your link is built is exactly how "scroll to anchors on the page" is implemented in links. For example on a blog post page http://example.com/blogPost1.html adding #comments on the end of the link and pressing Enter on the address bar will not reload the page, just scroll the page to the comments section. A browser w

    Real word example: go to link https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/10/se-podcast-23 after the page loads add at the end of the link #comments and press enter. You will see that the browser will not refresh but just scroll the page to the comments area.

    If you want the page to behave in your way without modifying the link structure I think that JavaScript will help you. One example on SO: How can I detect an address bar change with JavaScript?
