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

[Joerg Wagner]

Hello Ben,

thanks for your answer.
I was using the "config.prefixLocalAnchors = all" directive all the time 
(found it when searching for a solution for my problem), but couldn't see 
any effect.
Turns out now, that I was chasing ghosts all the time. Incredible!!! It just 
works.
Somehow in all my tests I always called the wrong files or didn't clear the 
cache or whatever. Damn - I should have slept some hours inbetween...

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP. You made me recheck everything and so I found my 
errors.

For all who will drop onto a similar situation, here are the details how I 
solved it (on a system using TemplaVoila):

1.
Add an anchor that links to your named anchor somewhere in the page and give 
it a unique id:
<a id="linkTop1" href="#pagetop">

2.
In TV add a new Data Element to the TV page template you are using:
    Mapping Type:  Attribute
    Editing Type:  TypoScript Object Path
    Object Path:  lib.linkTop1
    Mapping Rules:  a:attr:href

3.
In TV map the new Data Element to the anchor tag

4.
Add this code to your TS-Setup:
    lib.linkTop1 = TEXT
    lib.linkTop1{
      typolink.parameter = #pagetop
      typolink.returnLast = url
    }


THX again, Ben!
