    Content of the Browser Address Line

    Is there a way in PHP or JavaScript to determine the full content of the
    browser address line, including the information that would tell us if the
    link were to an internal part of a page? I'm trying to find the information
    in a URL that looks like this:

    Page Not Found - 404 Error Page
    http://www.mysite.com/my_page.php?s=n#detailed


    The closest variable I can find does not include the "#detailed"

    ENV["REQUEST_UR I"] /my_page.php?s=n

    Thanks,
    ~Ray

      As the hash can only be parsed client-side, the only way is to use the
      location.hash javascript property.

          A fragment identifier, what comes after the '#' in a URI-
          reference, isn't sent to the server, so you can't access it
          with PHP. When you enter a URI like that into the address
          bar, the browser parses it and keeps the fragment identifier
          for itself, to use once it has retrieved the resource.

          In Javascript, however, consider the hash property of the
          location object: location.hash. I'd consult c.l.javascript
          though.

          HAGW!

              Thanks, folks. I'll be looking for a book on JavaScript soon.
