Confuzzled on rewriting/redirecting #references

trying to redirect file.htm#A to new-file.htm#A

[kevinpate]

I'm stumped.

I'm trying to redirect two links but neither redirect nor rewrite are working, and I don't know if I'm leaving something out or what.

The 301 redirects I tried dinna work:
Redirect permanent /name.htm#referenceA h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm#referenceA

Redirect permanent /name.htm#referenceB h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm

So, I tried to do theswitch over via rewrite, but none of these work either:
1st attempt

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/name.htm#referenceA [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*ttp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm#referenceA [F]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/name.htm#referenceB [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm [F]

2nd Condition attempts were:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/name\.htm\#referenceA [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm#referenceA [F]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/name\.htm\#referenceB [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm [F]

3rd effort:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^name.htm#referenceA [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm#referenceA [F]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^name.htm#referenceB [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm [F]

4th effort:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^w*w.domain.org/name.htm#referenceA [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm#referenceA [F]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^w*w.domain.org/name.htm#reference [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h*tp://www.domain.org/new-name.htm [F]

I'm obviously barking up the wrong tree, so if anyone who can help me get back on scent, it would be appreciated.

You won't like the scent, though...

You can't do what you're trying to do, because according to previous discussion here, the #reference anchors are used internally by browsers only. They are not sent to servers when you click on a link, and so cannot be used for external redirection. :(
