Thanks - Here's what I'm doing: Assume a directory called book and a file called chapter1, and an anchor called #page3
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: chapter1 ofType: @"html" inDirectory: book]; //That file path gets converted to a base url: NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath]; //I then create a combined url that includes the anchor, following a suggestion I saw elsewhere: NSURL *fullURL = [NSURL URLWithString: #page3 relativeToURL:baseURL]; //Then I create a url request with that: NSURLRequest *nsrequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL: fullURL]; //And pass it to the WKWebView: [webView loadRequest:nsrequest]; //Which loads the chapter file very nicely, but ignoring the anchor. //The full url appears to have the anchor prepended, plus a couple of dashes: #page3-- [pathtobook is here]/book/chapter1.html //Instead of what I'd expect, [pathtobook is here]/book/chapter1.html#page3 So I don't quite understand that format. I expect I'm missing something basic here. The chapter does contain the anchor <a name="page3"> page 3></a> Yours, Jeff On Jan 21, 2016, at 5:32 PM, Quincey Morris wrote: On Jan 21, 2016, at 17:17 , Jeff Evans <jev...@ars-nova.com> wrote: > > In OSX I'm using an NSURLRequest to load a file url in WKWebView.

Can you show what APIs you’re using for this? Are you appending the anchor to an existing string or URL? Are you explicitly creating a file URL, or a generic URL? Looking at NSURL documentation, it looks like NSURL recognizes the anchor as a piece called “fragment”. > I tried [NSURL URLWithString: anchorname relativeToURL: baseURL] but this > produces a url with the form This doesn’t seem likely to work. In this API, the first parameter is assumed to *be* a URL, albeit in relative form, not a URL piece, which is what you have.
