This is not a good idea... As far as i'm aware anchors are not part of the http specification. They are only implemented in html.
Eg. You type /myAnchor.do#myAnchor into the url bar in your browser, the browser actually requests /myAnchor.do - it doesnt send the anchor - it just uses it to show the correct part of the page. Now, if a browser sends a request for /myAnchor.do and recieves a redirect to /myAnchor.do#myAnchor the browser will then make a further request - but what should it request? /myAnchor.do#myAnchor is an invalid url If its clever it will spot this and either send: /myAnchor.do (and handle the anchor) or if it's not: /myAnchor.do#myAnchor (and cause errors) /myAnchor.do%23myAnchor (and cause errors) I've come accross this problem in my own apps. In testing Firefox and MOST versions of IE can deal with it... but some versions of IE cause errors. The only solution i came up with is to use forwards (not redirects) and use javascript so that when a form is submitted, or a link is cliked it decides which anchor to select before anything is submitted.
