XSLT transformation problem in Firefox with anchors at link
Tags:
XSLT, Firefox
Hi,
I am developing a page that needs to transform a XML and a XSL into HTML.
The code is working fine, at both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
But if my page location has an anchor on it(eg. www.site.com/#myanchor), it stops working at Firefox.
The code is just below, at the Code Snipped Box.
As I said, it works fine on both browsers, but just without anchors at link. So if I type www.mysite.com/ at my browser, it works fine.
But if I type www.mysite.com/#omg, it doesnt work in firefox.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,
We'll need a little bit ore information to help you with this. I.e.:
- Is the anchor located in the part you created with XSLT or in the part that is static?
- If you say "it" doesn't work, what do you mean with "it": the XSLT transformation or the browser going to the anchor on the page?
- If the anchor is created with XSLT, can you show the relevant parts of the XSLT (or the XSLT in full)?
- You refer specifically to firefox, what is the expected behavior and does that work well in IE, Opera etc?
- How do you invoke the script above: through a (click) event, on other user action (i.e., typing a text), or on loading the page?
- Are there other builder scripts that may create or destroy the anchor?
Please update so that I / We can help you further.
Cheers,
-- Abel --

Hi Abel,
thanks for your help. Answering your questions:
1- There is no anchor(<a name="">) in the page. The problem is when I put the # in the URL. I use that to do history control with ajax
2- What doesnt work is the XSL transformation when there is a # at the URL
3- The XSLT doesnt create anchors, there are no anchors in the HTML
4- Didnt tested it at Opera yet, but it works fine at ie
5- I invoke the script at the onLoad page, but tested it with the onclick event either. There is a engine that verifies the URL typed at the browser and load that fragment inside a div. For example, if the user type www.mysite.com/#Alex, it loads data about alex inside a div in the page. If the user type www.mysite.com/#Bruno it loads data about Bruno(something similar to the GMail history control)
6- No
I made a simple page to teste that behavior with the onclick event(example.aspx was the name of the page).
The XSL transformation was working fine. But if I access the page passing an anchor name to it(example.aspx#Alex), it stops working at firefox. Even if I put a <a name="Alex></a> at the page.

Hi Alex,
Hmm, I'm thinking of a couple of causes that might be the result of the behavior you are experiencing, but none seem to be a total fit to your story. However, before I try to completely reproduce your problem locally, I have a couple of things I like to share with you about your current design, provided I understand your tellings well enough.
Using an anchor to control the history (you mean the cache of the browser? Or do you mean the back-browse feature of a browser to accommodate for history problems in dynamic AJAX applications?) is a debatable use of the anchor. An anchor is meant to instruct the browser and it will, for instance, not instantiate a new load of the same page. Instead, it will try to locate the element with id="#anchor", or an element <a name="anchor"></a> and scroll there.
As an alternative and possibly as a better solution (i.e. to re-invoke the onload) you should consider using the querystring instead (i.e, any part behind the question mark on the link, like http://example.com/test?di
If the latter is a problem, there are sufficient other solutions, like passing parameters to and from the XSLT to pass on information, but to help you there I need to understand your project a bit more.
Regardless, this won't change the situation (seemingly) that once you have an anchor the XSLT seems to break, even when in an onclick (I understand the onload fails, but the onclick???). I'll have to try that out, because I am sure I have dozens of pages that fit the description of your problem with XSLT, anchors, queries etc, without any problem whatsoever.
One more question left unanswered: do you get any errors or is the script not invoked at all? At what line in your code above (or your own code) does it stop working? Can you check the JavaScript console on Firefox?
Cheers,

Hi Abel,
The History Control is meant to enable the back-browser feature and bookmarks.
I can't use the query string, because the page can't be entire loaded again. (and I don't know a way to use the query string in the url and don't load the entire page again, is that possible?)
The Javascript console doesn't return any errors at all.
I am posting some images to show whats happening. The window.jpg file shows 4 Firefox screens, 2 without the anchor on the link, and 2 with it. As you see, in the second case, the firefox doesnt transform my xml, and just show it.
The other 2 images are codes. I use a framework to do this, and the code part of the framework that transforms the xml is at the code snippet box.
Thanks for helping.

I could manage to solve this bug by now.
The pages I did have some strange behaviors, but for now they are working.
I'll keep testing to see if they keep working fine.
I found the solution to this problem here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.o
It is a FF BUG.

Well done! I'm sorry to only attend back to this question by now. If this resolves your question you should ask for a refund of the points as you have found the resolution yourself.

I just received the warning about the deletion process (and apparently I interrupted the automated process??). Go ahead with the deletion, I have no objections whatsoever.
