743453 - Make SUMO Advanced search respect anchor tags from visiting url

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

[Noah (NoahSUMO/SolidSnake) [:Noah]]

Could we code the advanced search page so that if I used this url: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=2#support I would land on the #support search tab instead of on the Knowledge Base search tab? I'm trying to bookmark that link so I can avoid having to make an extra click to move from Knowledge Base search to Support Questions search.

Instead when I enter that url in a new tab, it will load the AS page but not select the Support Questions tab and just cause a scroll event that almost scrolls to the bottom of the page.

I also tried manually appending #kb, #support, or #discussion to the end of url when the AS page is already loaded & it results in nothing happening. Not even a scroll event. So it looks like it needs a onclick event to trigger some js for the anchor link?

Related bug reported by Verdi:
bug 706479 - Lazyloading of images breaks anchor links
tgavankar in IRC said: inpage anchor links trigger scroll events rather than page reloads which is probably a good thing, but not for bug 706479 lol

So I don't know if these bugs may be dependent on each other in some way. But in case they are, I mentioned it.

Yea, this still does happen and unfortunately this happens for other things..
