causing internal html and anchoring to fail.

Hi,

Has anyone anecountered this problem before.

When using <html:base />, the browser mistakes internal links and anchors within a page to reference anchor points within another page.

So what?  Well, this forces a reload of the page rather than the browser simply snapping to the point in the page.

In my application, this would require additional DB processes to be executed for the data that is already held in the HTML page on screen.

It comes about because of the actual page being shown and the browser URL are different.  i.e. the URL holds a reference to a struts action, while the browser recognises the internal HTML links in association with the HTML page name - myPage.jsp (due to the use of the <html:base /> element).

Is there a way round this, other than removing the <html:base /> from the doc as this is not an option?
