Redirecting With "Location: " Header To A Path With An Anchor Reloads Page

This is a followup on:

Code:

[URL]

After further investigation it appears that omitting the anchor part out of a redirect header such as:

Code:

Location: h**p://eladnava.com/index.php?showtopic=1#entry1

Prevents the page reload after clicking another anchor on the redirected page.

A description of the problem: User clicks a link to view the newest post of a topic, such as

Code:

[URL]

This link redirects automatically to the topic with an anchor to the latest post entry on the page:

Code:

[URL]

This is where problems start. On this page clicking any link which is an anchor causes the page to reload and then jump to the anchor.

My modification enables posting replies to topics via Ajax, and to support back/forward button functionality in browsers I must change the anchor in the script. As soon as it is changed the browser reloads the page defeating the purpose of Ajax!

So what can be done about that anchor? I'm thinking about passing it as another variable in the query string and then manually via JavaScript onLoad() to extract the anchor from the URL and then jump to it after the page has loaded. Would this work?
