Perl Script creates html doc - want to jump to anchor

[TWW]

Greetings,
I am writing a Perl script that generates html documents on the fly.
In some instances the document is rather long, and the desire exists
to have the script result in the browser jumping to an anchor within
the document.

A file for the generated HTML document is not created. Is this a
problem with my issue above? Are there issues with not creating a
file that may come and haunt me in the future.

One suggestion was to append some Javascript code that gets executed
when the document is loaded (the Javascript references the anchor).

Perhaps this is in the wrong group, but I figured a Perl guru could
address this.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Tom

If a file were generated, you could then redirect the browser to the
specified anchor in the generated document.

You use the onload event handler for the document for this I guess.

You are probably better off asking this question in a CGI group (e.g
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi) as the solution does not depend on
Perl.
