A PHP solution to the challenge was eventually developed by participants
that suited the original poster's needs brilliantly. My needs are somewhat
similar. I have a page of links (something like a big site map) several
times larger than the advert page at the center of the thread above (it
cannot be split into smaller pages). In pure HTML, the page needs to load
into a browser cache only once, and from then on any number of external
calls for jumps to various anchors can be accomplished without the need to
completely reload the page again. Like the original poster, I would like
the anchored text (or in my case, the anchored links) to be highlighted
after a jump. However, it's my understanding that this PHP script causes
the entire HTML part of the page to be reloaded (or rebuilt) each time a
new anchor is called. I think this would be very slow in my case and
probably unfair to my visitors (especially those with slower modems). Can a
script like this be designed to move the highlight around in such a way
that the whole page does not have to be reloaded (or rebuilt) each time a
different anchor is called?
BTW, I'm a newcomer to PHP, so please forgive me if I have misunderstood
something in the referenced script, or if I am unintentionally asking for
the impossible. Thanks!
Pass a variable with the anchor link and let javascript decide which area to highlight. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
