[Resolved] How to hide ID / anchor in address bar

[Roland]

Hi everybody,

on a one page site I want to hide the section id in the address bar of the user’s browser.

For example, in the menu an item is linked to #about. When the user clicks, he jumps to the section “About”. So far, so good.

But I don’t want the ID to be shown in the user’s address bar like this: “http://mysite.com/#about”.

I wish the user could only see this: “http://mysite.com”, regardless of the section he jumped.

My site should work like this one: http://www.mfw-design.com/

Any ideas, preferably without js or php? But if it’s only possible with js or php, I will bite the bullet. 🙂

Hi Leo,

thank you for your reply and sorry, I didn’t find that thread.

I will have a look at this strange stuff on stackoverflow …

No problem! Not an easy one to find.

Hi everybody,

I got it and I don’t need JS or PHP.

The plugin Page Scroll to ID removes anchor links from the url in the address bar (optional).

And by the way, it also highlights the menu-item of the section currently visible.

I just wanted to share this …

Thanks for sharing 🙂
