I've always done it this way (fine on IE and NS nix): http://www.mysite.com/x?arga=one&argb=two#gotohere Now, tell me why that wouldn't work, if you've already tried that. By the way, it is called "anchors" not "bookmarks". Bookmarks is in weblanguage URLs stored in the webbrowser :) Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael W.

The same behavior is also apparent using Opera 4.0b4 on RedHat. Since the query arguments don't make it into the REQUEST object, the dtml-var line above results in a KeyError.
