When a web browser loads a file from disc there is a fundamental difference from loading it from the internet, because the file does not provide the browser with the HTTP header response. That response includes a Content-Type line which tells the browser that the content is text/html (or equally is a bitmap image, video, or audio file of various types). When the browser loads from disc, it needs another method of recognising the type. On RISC OS, this should be via the filetype, but I would also expect a browser to fall back on looking at the end of the file name in case there is an extension like "/html" or "/htm" (using RISC OS conventions here). I imagine this could break if the browser forgets to remove the part from the # onwards in the URL. But it's quite peculiar, because it has to remove those parts to find the right file in the first place. I looked at the !FTPc manual which Chris Newman mentioned further down the thread. Chris did not make clear which page of the manual failed: I found an internal link with a hash, but that might not have been the problem. One feature of the !FTPc manual is that the pages do not have any /html or /htm extensions. It could be that none of the links work, even when there is no hash, because of some dodginess in Iris about how it makes up for the lack of Content-Type. -- Matthew Phillips Sine Nomine Software Durham
