The standalone test case below reproduces the problem. 1. After you run the page, try navigating to an anchor by wither using a link ("Test anchor link") or Javascript ("navigate" button). Note that the URL gets updated with the new hash value. 2. Hit the 'Back' button. Instead of navigating within the same page to a URL without the hash, the browser navigates to a previous page. 3. Try removing onload on the body - the test no longer performs a redirect, and the anchor navigation works as expected. This feature is very important for maintaining navigation state for AJAX requests. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <body onload="initialRedirect();"> <a id="test"></a> <a href="#test">Test anchor link</a> <br> <button onclick="navigate();">Navigate</button> <script> function initialRedirect() { var search = document.location.search; if (!search || search.indexOf('blah') < 0) { document.location.replace("test1.html?test=blah"); } } function navigate() { window.location.hash = "#test"; } </script> </body> </html>
