GET parameters and anchors

[Stuart Allen]

Hello

I am having a problem when using a GET request in combination with a # 
anchor. If I call a page with an included servlet with a link such as:

  http://blah.com/index.html?user=frank

everything is fine, if on the other hand I use

http://blah.com/index.html#halwaydown?user=frank

the servlet behaves as if no parameter was passed at all. Using the # 
anchor in a form such as:

<form action="/index.html#halwaydown">

works exactly as I had hoped. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Regards,
Stuart
