Well, I can put both the routing parameters and the scroll target in the hash and implement the scrolling in JS. But that feels more complex than necessary.

Is there a standard solution for this? Or should we have yet another URL component that
- is only available to the client and
- does not interfere with the scrolling functionality of the hash component?

Now I have a use case with client-side routing parameters where
A. I would prefer to keep the parameters in the client for data-protection reasons, and
B. I would still like to use the hash for scrolling within the page.

So where to put the parameters? Due to (A) I don't want them in the search and due to (B) I don't want them in the hash.

Any ideas, #WebDevelopers ?
Or at @w3c @tag #WebStandards ?

Search and Hash in URLs

Sometimes we parameterize a #URL to specify in detail what to display.
- The "search" (after a "?") can be used by the server but also by the client, e.g., for routing in a single-page application.
- The "hash" (after a "#") is only available to the client, where it is normally used to scroll to a particular element of a page. But it can also be used for client-side routing.

There's a Web Developer somewhere in #Meta who is looking at the 'some' in that headline and treating it as a bug report.

At least it's not a yes/no question, though. (-:

Being a good backend developer is like being the healer in a DnD group: you get none of the credit for impressing the program owners, and you doing a good job is dependent on you constantly supressing your own ego in order to do what is best for the group.

Why Diverse Teams and Early Accessibility Matter in Web Development

Accessibility in web dev shouldn’t be an afterthought. Involving diverse teams from the start uncovers issues early, making products better for all. Early focus on accessibility is key.

Could it be modern #webdevelopers feel uneasy, uncertain, unsafe when they don't wrap their stuff with a <div class="lengthy-class-name">? Like when you don't use a seatbelt in the car maybe, or go naked to work. Just add a wrapper, and then a wrapper around the wrapper, just in case.

We have an in-depth conversation on custom tables including a recent experience with them migrating from Joomla to WordPress and WooCommerce.
