Fragment Identifiers in Bootstrap URLs 7 years 4 months ago #4181

Thank you received: 4

I want a Bootstrap page to behave a bit more like an actual website, whereby a user is able to use the Forward and Back browser buttons to go to previously viewed pages within the Bootstrap page. At the moment clicking the Back button will take a user to whatever site they were viewing before arriving at the Bootstrap page.

Is this possible?

I wondered whether this could be achieved with fragment identifiers. At the moment, I can access a specific section of a Bootstrap page using, for example: xerte.example.ac.uk/play_1234#page8

However, this method only seems to work for page numbers 1-9. Anything greater than 9 doesn't appear to work (e.g. #page10 actually navigates to page 2).

Also, once you have loaded a page with a fragment identifier, you can't then navigate to another page using a different identifier. For example, if you load xerte.example.ac.uk/play_1234#page8 then change the URL to xerte.example.ac.uk/play_1234#page9 it will remain on page 8.

Am I missing something here?

Is there an easier way to give every page/section a unique URL?

I was actually just digging in the JavaScript and I found the issue: startHash = window.location.hash; if (startHash.substring(1,5) == "page") { startPage = parseInt(startHash.substring(5, 6), 10) - 1; } Seems it's only allowing single digit numbers for page numbers...
