how to link with page in gwt without update history stack?

[mars]

hi,

my gwt page has link within itself, like normal html page
<a href="#b">B</a>
point to
<a name="b"></a>
<h3>B</h3>

within the same page, but i don't want to update the
history stack by appending '#b' to the end of url. how can
i do that? I used anchor instead of hyperlink.

thanks.

I don't know if we can do that, because when one click on a link, browser native implementation is  to update history stack. It doesn't go through GWT.

I think its only possible if you do the scrolling yourself and do not rely on the <a name=...> tag.

You can probably do something like (untested):

anchor.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {

  public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {

    Widget jumpTo = getWidgetYouWantToScrollTo();

    jumpTo.getElement().scrollIntoView(); //Version 1

    scrollPanel.setVerticalScrollPosition(jumpTo.getElement().getOffsetTop()); //Version 2

    Window.scrollTo(0, jumpTo.getElement().getOffsetTop()); //Version 3

  }

});
