Safari ignoring/removing anchors (or “hashtags”) when clicking hyperlinks?

Question

I need to point one page to another and then scroll to a particular section. In Chrome and Firefox, using an URL like www.example.com#section1 does the trick. (

Answer 1

For me it was the exact same issue like mrbinky3000 has stated above: The server mod-rewrite was killing the hash in safari.

The solution was to use a full absolute link like: http://www.example.com/path/#item-1
