[opencms-dev] anchor of URL being encoded (and incorrectly)

[LesC]

Just a followup.


On further thought this isn't an editor problem since editing the controlcode directly (bypassing the editor) causes the same problem.  I filed a bug in opencms.

As for why Firefox treats (%26) as (&), that is an idiosyncrasy of Firefox when accessing the document.location.hash property.  Other browsers return (%26) as expected.
