[thelist] anchors with querystrings revisited

Hi all-

Recently I came upon a situation where I need to use anchors and
querystrings together.  I saw a previous thread (look here:
http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20010108/023086.html) about it
and PHP.  My situation is WinNT 4.0/ASP2/IIS4/IE6 but I'm having some of the
same issues.  If I do something like this:

www.url.com/blah.asp#anchorHere?qs1=foo&qs2=fah

I get NO querystring carried over to the asp page (that is, I cannot get
values for each qs key in the qs using the request object).  If I do
something like this:

www.url.com/blah.asp?qs1=foo&qs2=fah#anchorHere

I get the qs key/values just fine, except that qs2 = "fah#anchorName" so
there's no anchor.

It's the damnedest thing eh?  Apparently the 2nd method is the "proper" way
to do it, but it ain't werkin.  Any ideas?

Gratis,

PS: I owe a couple of tips, I know. ;)
