Any way to disable routing - problems using traditional named anchor locations like <a href="#info">...

[Rob Bygrave]

Hi,

I have been trying to use Angular with an existing application. That application makes use of named anchors to scroll the user to that anchor in the page.

I couldn't find a way to disable the routing effectively.

If I used $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); I had some bad side effects for the rest of my application on that page.  When I used $locationProvider.html5Mode(false); .... then angular automatically modified the url in the browser prefixing a / e.g "#info" became "#/info" ... and events fired on '$locationChangeStart occured after that so event.preventDefault(); did not work out.

Is there a way of using traditional named anchors on a page with Angular?


Thanks, Rob.

The AngularJS Docs are an AngularJS app using HTML5 mode and hashes: Here is an example[sic]: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngBind#Example

Thanks. 

Yes, I tried html5 mode and weird stuff started happening with the rest the application - it starting interferring with the location/url of the non-angular ajax/jquery posts which I didn't have time to look into.

Hi Rob, did you manage to solve this problem?

As a workaround I ended up using javascript element.scrollIntoView().  So on read a specific url query parameter and based on that used scrollIntoView() - which was ok.

Cheers, Rob.
