section markers in dynamic documents

[Stephen Fitzpatrick]

This may have been mentioned before...

There seems to be a problem with section markers in documents returned from a  
"search": OW replaces the search parameters with the section name and tries to  
retrieve the new URL.

For example, a "search"
	http://foo.com/script?x=1
may return a HTML document with sections marked by anchors such as
	<a name="A">
If the document contains a link to this anchor
	<a href="#A">
then when the user follows this link OW forms the URL
	http://foo.com/script#A
and tries to fetch that URL; what it should do is simply jump to the marked  
section in the page it has already loaded.

If you want a live test, try the horoscope (under the Gazette section) of the  
Daily Telegraph. I can't give a full URL as you need to register (it's free),  
but the Telegraph home page is
	http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
