Wave reloads with local hyperlinks
----------------------------------
Key: WAVE-282
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAVE-282
Project: Wave
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Wave Model
Affects Versions: 0.1
Environment: All
Reporter: Timothy Dean Chase
In HTML a hyperlink consisting of <a href="#there">go there</a> will go to a
destination of <a name="there"> without reloading the webpage.
In Google Wave an address of the form:
---->https://wave.google.com/wave/waveref/googlewave.com/w+vcXixYITD/~/conv+root/b+QtNqw-T5A
...will reload the wave in which the blip of that address exists even though it
is local. However, editing the address to:
---->googlewave.com/w+vcXixYITD/~/conv+root/b+QtNqw-T5A
... will not cause the wave to reload, but will "instantly" take you to the
blip of that address.
Wave translates wave content to HTML and using AJAX inserts that content into
the HTML5 webpage. Editing the webpage in memory shows that local hyperlinks
work. It should be possible to modify Wave so that it will recognize blips
that are local or will at least allow users to edit the address of a hyperlink
so that it acts as a local hyperlink rather than reloading the Wave -- which is
time-consuming. Whenever possible, hyperlinks should be experienced as
instantaneous -- and this is certainly one of the areas where it should be
possible.
