Hi,

I'm trying to use URL substitutes to remove #xxx from teh end of a URL. When I test it in the URL substitues options, nothing happens.

For a simple rule such as:

URL - http://www.internal.com/level1/level2/index.html#updates

Replace - http://www.internal.com/level1/level2/index.html#updates

With - http://www.internal.com/level1/level2/index.htm

The URL isn't modified. I want to strip the # and everything after it.

Peter, everything after # symbol is not a part of a URL, it is not passed to a server. It is simply a result of a script on the page.

Best regards,
Oleg Chernavin
MP Staff
