Umbraco 7.5 Adding / to URL after Anchor #
We're having a strange issue with links to our site with anchor tags.
```
www.site.com/page-name#anchor-id
```
Gets changed to
```
www.site.com/page-name#/anchor-id
```
causing the anchor not to work.

Any ideas on what would cause this?

Discovered that this is due to AngularJS that is in the web app.

Yeah, ran into that myself. There is an AngularJS config value that disables that behavior.
```
angular.module("yourApp").config(function ($locationProvider) {
    $locationProvider.html5Mode({
        enabled: true,
        rewriteLinks: fase,
        requireBase: false
    });
});
```
Not sure if all of those values are necessary, but that's what I set it to on one of my sites. More info here: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/provider/$locationProvider

Yeah, I've tried that config for html5Mode and it wasn't helping. Thanks for the reply though.

Have you tried it with those exact three parameters? IIRC, it didn't work for me when I tried it with just rewriteLinks set to false.

You hit the nail on the head! I was so close earlier, I just didn't include the requireBase property. Thanks for the help, Nicholas!

Okay, now AngularJS is intercepting all anchor tags on the page, and none of the links work unless you add target="_self", which isn't an option...

Is that still the case when you set enabled to true (or to false)?

What happens when you click an anchor tag? Does the URL change? To the correct value? Does it scroll down the page (assuming that's what you want)?

Yeah with enabled: true, clicking on an a tag will update the url as expected but the navigation will not occur.

I had to remove $location from one of my controllers. That did it.
