Insert anchor problems with database...

i am using Xinha with a database driven set of pages. (company newsletter tool)

The issue im having is:

when a new newsletter (insert_newsletter.php) is created it inserts the anchors just fine, the data is submitted to the database correctly...all is well

when i edit an existing newsletter (update_newsletter.php) and I view the html souce for the anchors...the link / anchor has somehow appended the filename to the anchor link.

ie:

new newsletter:
-----------------------------------------
<a href=#link1>Link 1</a>
...
...
Here is link 1 <a name=link1>

edit an existing newsletter
-----------------------------------------
<a href="update_newsletter.php?recordID=58#link1">Link 1</a>
...
...
Here is link 1 <a name=link1>

any ideas? thx

Re: Insert anchor problems with database...

I am having a similar problem.... the links in my case, however, have more than one argument for the url, and xinha seems to be replacing the & with & - which is killing all of the links

for example, this is what is initially inserted:

<a href="#xyz">link to xyz</a>

and this is what replaces the above code:

<a href="index.php?action=page&form=content&page=2378#xyz">link to xyz</a>

any help would be much appreciated

Re: Insert anchor problems with database...

the url bevore the #xyz should be stripped out in the function fixRelativeLinks when config.stripSelfNamedAnchors is true.

however it looks there is a bug

could you please try using update_newsletter.php without any get-arguments?

...& in links is correct! - actually using only & is even invalid (at least if you use XHTML 1.0 Strict - try it in a validator )
