Have you tried to attach an event listener (DOM.addEventListener()) to these anchors and call ClickEvent.preventDefault() when you click on them? That could suppress the history change and you can scroll your html document yourself by reading the href attribute and searching the anchor you need to scroll to. But don't forget to remove the event listener if you don't need the html anymore.
If ClickEvent.preventDefault() does not work you need to modify your anchors to <a data-scrollTo="chapter1" class="linkStyle">Chapter 1</a> or use <div> instead of <a> because you can't use href anyways. So remove the href attribute and put the information in a custom attribute. Your click handler would use the custom attribute to get the information where to scroll to. Obviously you have to do the scrolling yourself (Element.scrollIntoView()). In modern browsers you could maybe use HTML5 pushState instead of hash tokens for history management. In that case you probably don't have to change anything in your html document. But if you want IE compatibility this is not an option. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
