1125877 - mozilla-pager.js should work around scrolling to ID when page hash is included in URL

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: Bedrock, defect)

Description

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

When the tab/pager script mozilla-pager.js is used on a page on mozilla.org:

1. if a direct link to a particular tab (including the tab hash in the URL)
2. the browser will attempt to scroll down to the #anchor
3. the JS adds the CSS classes that hide the non-active pager pages
4. you end up scrolled down past the relevant content because of the hiding of the non-active pagers. 

We used to hack around this with a snippet of inline JS in each pager page, like this:

  <script>
    document.getElementById('foo').id = 'page-foo';
  </script>

This renamed the IDs immediately so the browser had nothing to scroll to. Since this relies on inline JS, though, it's not something we can continue to use.
