Get anchor with JSP

[psokarovski]

If i have an url like http://www.someurl.com/index.jsp#someAnchor


can and how can i get the value of the anchor???

[rozner]

use request.getQueryString() and then parse out everything after the #, there are several ways to do this. One easy way:

String query = request.getQueryString();
int index = query.lastIndexOf('#');
String anchor = query.substring(index);

Well this is not working... i read about this and it can't be done beacause anchors are not sent to the server, just url and query string are send... anyway thanks for the help rozner
