Addition of anchor attribute to view-state [SWF-624]

[spring-operator]

Hi all,

I wanted to be able to reference a particular anchor point in a view-state, rather than just be taken to the top of the view-state page.

Keith Donald suggested I put in a new feature request -

Hi Keith,

I've found what I believe is a workaround on this issue, which you might find handy. (or else unpleasantly hacky :)

As you may recall, my problem was that I had a main page, with some optional information which I wanted to have on a subpage. Then when the user was finished filling out the data on the subpage, I wanted them to be able to return to the point on the main page from which they had initially jumped off.

Here's my workaround -

Main Page <code> ... ... <input type="submit" name="_eventId_goToSubPage" value="Go to the Subpage" /> ... ... </code>

Sub Page <code> ... ... <c:url value="/main-flow.html?_eventId=goBackToMainPage&_flowExecutionKey=${flowExecutionKey}#middleOfMainPage" var="formUrl" /> <form:form method="post" action="${formUrl}"> <input type="submit" value="Back to middle of Main Page" /> </form:form> ... ... </code>

Cheers

Eoin
