The jquery ajax function removes anchors in URLs.
Something.html#anchor
What if we have the # as a parameter for a script?
Can I prevent jquery from removing the anchor?
No, because the part after the
#(which is called a fragment) is never sent to the web server; it’s not part of the HTTP request. It can only be accessed from client-side scripting.It doesn’t matter if you use jQuery, AJAX, or simply paste the URL in the browser’s navigation bar and hit ENTER; this behavior is the same in all cases.
