CM> That part of the URL (the fragment identifier) doesn't get sent to the server; it is processed locally in the browser after the document has been received from the server:

Wow.

Frankly, I don't understand it.

When you sent me the link to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier#Processing" could you explain what happened? That is ... what was sent to the server and what ther server sent back to
the browser?

This really confuses me.

And, yes, I realize this is now not a Rails question ... but I'd be grateful for help.
