#7

[BlazeLondon]

Can anyone see why the #7 isnt being passed to the web page before it displays?

its just loading the page at the start and not jumping to section 7.

typing this into the command prompt works!

start /max file:///c:/scripts/html.htm#7

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /C start /max file:///' & @scriptdir & '/html.htm' & '#7')

maybe..?

run("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler html.htm"& "#7",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

This works and i can live with it; but I dont much like it

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /C start /max iexplore file:///' & @scriptdir & '/html.htm' & '#7')

run("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler html.htm#7",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

cant make that work, heres the syntax

run("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " & FileGetShortName(@scriptdir) & "\qbsetup.htm#7",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Interesting. This "feature" only seems to affect locally saved files.

If I create a desktop shortcut to the following, it works fine

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/faq.htm#7

However, if I save that page to C:\faq.htm and create a shortcut to

file:///C:/faq.htm#7

then the #7 isn't passed.

You can have the '#' sign just fine in file names--the browser urlencodes to %23 and displays the page--but the # is stripped when referring to an anchor.

file:///C:/faq.htm#7 works if you put this as URL address.

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" file:///C:/faq.htm#7 -> this works also.

Shouldn't this work?

$reg = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\opennew\command","")
$browser = StringLeft($reg,StringInStr($reg,"%")-1)
RunWait($browser & " file:///c:/faq.htm#7")

Not sure why need ComSpec...
