I have a php page A, inside this page I have an iframe with a source (attribute src="") like <iframe src="book.html"></iframe> The "book.html" is a page with a lot of text divided in sections and contain html anchors (<a name="anchor-1"></a>) before each block of text I have another php page B with a form that pass a variable (#anchor-1), that is an anchor name, to page A. Inside page A I pass this variable to the iframe, editing the source of the iframe: <iframe src="book.html#anchor-1"></iframe> So I expect the page book.html inside the iframe will scroll to the anchor passed, like normally a html page do. I want this will work with all the browsers; with Chrome works (iframe scroll to the anchor) but with Firefox not. The question is: how can I force the iframe to scroll to anchors passed by querystring in Firefox, maybe with javascript or jquery? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638598 I found solutions to force the use of anchors with links inside the iframe page "book.html" but not for my case of anchors passed by querystring.
