InfoUrl bug
Posted: 23.08.2007, 20:16
I just discovered a bug in the use of InfoUrls. Well, it is probably more an oversight than a bug, but nevertheless:
Let??s say i have a website with info on two planets:
1. Venus
2. Earth
Now, if the articles are long, each one gets its own page. No problem there.
But: if they are very short, it makes more sense to put both articles in the same HTML document.
The standard way of linking to an article, then, will be:
http://www.whatever.com/thepage#earth
... Which causes the browser to open the page and automatically scroll down to the relevant section.
The problem is that the SSC file treats the # symbol as a comment tag. This breaks the URL.
What we need, obviously, is an escape character for the # symbol.
