Hi Joe, Maybe the History class can help you here. It allows you to pick a "token" off the url and change you applications status appropriately - a token is essentially everything after the hash (#)
In the case where a user navigates to a url such as http://gwt.google.com/samples/Mail/Mail.html#foo the token would be "foo" and the history class would pick this up and act appropriately. Similarly when you click on your hyperlink it would change the URL from http://somthing to http://something#foo. A google search on gwt history should bring up a few tutorials (though they will most likely use GWT 1.5 and not the new GWT 1.6 syntax, but that should be OK for now - the new 1.6 syntax would use ValueChangeHandler<String> and the History.addValueChange() method instead of HistoryListeners classes and History.addHistoryListener() method - I'd suggest get used to the old approach before switching to the new one) Hope that helps, at least a bit! //Adam On 10 Apr, 14:46, Joe Hudson <[email protected]> wrote: > hello, > > I know this is a silly question but I haven't found a reference to > this... > > If I have links within the html document but outside of the GWT > application (see the #foo link below).
