How to forward to jsp page and then jump to anchor of the page

[Usera User]

I want to forward to jsp page and then jump to anchor of the page. I have defined the anchor <a name='insert'> in the destination page and using the forward defination in action element in struts-config.xml

<forward name="Success" path="view_data.jsp#insert">

But it doesn't work, the error is page not found.

Has any idea ?

Try the following...

<forward name="Success" path="/view_data.jsp#insert">

It does not work. It seems that the server want to find the file "view_data.jsp#insert". The "#insert" is part of the filename.

Instead of putting the anchor in struts-config.xml, append it at calling time
Following example might help

<action name="BaseForm" path="/viewdata" scope="request" type="BaseAction">
<forward name="Success" path="view_data.jsp">
</action>

When calling above action
/viewdata.do#insert

don't know if it's the best solution, but if you executed

 
   
    window.location="#myAnchor";
 

based on a condition which you evaluated in the jsp, it will make IE (not FF...) jump to the anchor.

the hard way, i know, but it works...
