Re: Basic HTML Question
URL fragments, used to reference named anchors, and query strings are not mutually exclusive in any respect. You can use either or both within a request. If you use both, the query string is processed by the application server, and the URL fragment is used by the browser to navigate to the portion of the document specified in the fragment. btw, besides anchors, in HTML 4.0 you can also use fragments to reference any HTML element, such as a DIV, using its ID attribute. This is very handy if you're already using ID attributes anyway.

Basic HTML Question
I just inherited a web site from another developer. Several times he is used the following code: cfoutput A HREF=RecordEdit.cfm###header#/A /cfoutput Can anyone explain what purpose the '##' serves at the end of the HREF? Thanks!

RE: Basic HTML Question
Oops .. you are right ... ### would leave one ... nothing like wrong answers :) No, you were right. In a string marked for output (within a CFOUTPUT, for example), if you want to use a literal pound sign you can escape it by doubling it. If you placed three pound signs together within a CFOUTPUT, you'd get an error.

Re: Basic HTML Question
It could be that he uses anchors a lot and typing # at the end of a file name is habitual (though I've never met anyone who used them more often than query strings, being that they're almost mutually exclusive), or it could be the result of a poorly formed multi-file replace in CF Studio.
