RE: Relative link to top of page and Struts

["Holman, Cal" <Ca...@paymentech.com>]

For the more complex solution - I use the <base> tag: 
<base href="http://<%= request.getServerName()%>:<%=
request.getServerPort()%><%=request.getContextPath()%>/">

Which renders: 
<base href="http://www.calandva.com:80/holmansite/">

At the top of the page: <html:link linkName="Top"/>
At the bottom: <html:link
page="/do/family/AutoForward?forward=family.pagedef"
anchor="Top">Top</html:link>

Rendered anchor tag: <a name="Top"></a>
Rendered link tag: <a
href="/holmansite/do/family/AutoForward?forward=family.pagedef#Top">Top</a>

URL on hover:
http://www.calandva.com/holmansite/do/family/AutoForward?forward=family.page
def#Top

I tried Wendy's suggestion - just used <A HREF="#top">Jump to top of
page</A>

I get the same behavior. Note: The page has struts tags for other, dynamic
reasons. For example, <html:base/>
<html:html>
<html:form>

The browser doesn't seem to understand to just go to the top of the page. I
confess I don't have a complete understanding of what the base tag is doing
for me. It translates onto the HTML page as

<base href="http://localhost/Opal_Struts/admin/jsp/admin_formSelect.jsp">

mousing over the link shows

http://localhost/Opal_Struts/admin/jsp/admin_formSelect.jsp#top

but the server is looking for the action mapping, as I indicated.

There seems to be some confusion on your page as to what the URL vs. the
<base> tag is doing.  There are a couple of potential "gotcha"s with
using relative links/anchors with or without the combined html:base tag.

You are better off to go with Wendy's suggestion. (Keep it simple)
