[TYPO3] Showstopper for IE: RealURL and Named Anchors within thesame page

[Martin Kindler]

I would set the URL used in <base> to be the full base-URL i.e. including
the page (index.php?id=<id> or the realURL path).
Otherwise you rely on the web server configuration to complete this what
will be OK for accessing external URLs but possibly IE cannot achieve.

> Situation:
> *   Typo3 4.0.2 installed
> *   RealURL installed
> *   config.baseURL set to http://www.mydomain.com/
> *   This generates a base tag in the header of the page:
>    <base href=http://www.mydomain.com />Needed:
> *   A link at the bottom of each page that jumps back to the 
> top of the 
> page.
> *   To do this, there is a named anchor  <a 
> name="pagetop"></a>  at the top 
> of each page
> *   and a link at the bottom of the page of the form:  <a 
> href="#pagetop">To 
> Top!</a>
> 
> 
> Problem:
> * The link works in FireFox, but Internet Explorer fails to

> But whatever I try to get that path in front of #pagetop, it

> For example I tried:

>     page.10.typolink.parameter.data = field:uid
>     page.10.typolink.section = pagetop
>     page.10.typolink.returnLast = url
> But the result is just "#pagetop". The RealURL alias path

>     # THIS WORK...
>     page.10 = TEXT
>     page.10.typolink.parameter = 123    <--some existing page uid!
>     page.10.typolink.section = pagetop
>     page.10.typolink.returnLast = url
> In this case the result is  REALURL/ALIAS/PATH/#pagetop
