Thanks, Jquery does have a nice script for doing that as well. I'm trying this out...
$(document).ready(function(){ $("a.remote").click(function(){ vari = $(this).attr("name"); window.location = vari; alert(vari); return false; }); }); And it does the trick in getting the anchor and alert it out. What I'm trying to do is then use the anchor (#whatever) and have it add itself to the link in the browser bar - I haven't found the formula yet as window.location initiates a refresh. If it were possible to do, I would be able to make search engine and javascriptless things degrade without any problems. Is THIS the dead end? Is there a way to get that anchor in there via javascript?
