Question

I’m using cakePHP 1.2, and wondering how I can handle a URL that dynamically builds the page with a slug, but then links to the appropriate area with an HTML anchor. An example:

http://www.mysite.com/pageSlug#anchor

I would parse out the slug, which would be used to dynamically build the page. Once built, I would need to jump to the anchor. Any suggestions on how I could do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It should work if you put anchor name in html code as a name attribute for <a> element. The browser will then automatically scroll the page to correct position.

  <a name="anchor"></a> 

Just generate your page dynamically and put the above fragment to correct place in your code.

Or am I missing something?
