Disable anchors in portlet URLs


When you access a portlet in IBM WebSphere Portal, the portal appends an anchor to the portlet URL. If several portlets are arranged vertically on a page, this appended anchor forces the browser to scroll down to the portlet rather than display the start of the page. You might prefer to have the start of the page displayed, even if the line that was clicked points to a portlet which is placed further down on the page. To achieve this, we can disable the anchors.

The use of the anchors depends on the configuration of your device, for example the desktop browser. It is controlled by a client device capability called FRAGMENT_IDENTIFIER. When the used device, for example the browser, has this capability enabled, the portal adds an anchor to the portlet URL.

To disable the addition of the anchors, delete the capability FRAGMENT_IDENTIFIER from the appropriate clients.

To enable the anchors again, restore the FRAGMENT_IDENTIFIER capability. Use the same portlet to add it back to the appropriate clients.
