Exception with anchors in HtmlField [message #1133210]

Hello,

I have an HtmlField displaying html containing local links of the form

<A href="#anchor">
...
<A name="anchor">

When clicking on the link I get

java.lang.NullPointerException
       at org.eclipse.scout.rt.client.ui.form.fields.htmlfield.AbstractHtmlField.doHyperlinkAction(AbstractHtmlField.java:128)
       at org.eclipse.scout.rt.client.ui.form.fields.htmlfield.AbstractHtmlField$P_UIFacade.fireHyperlinkActionFromUI(AbstractHtmlField.java:239)

In standard browsers everything works perfect. What can I do to get this work in the HtmlField?

Hi Uli

It seems that your use case is simply not implemented for the Swing UI Sad

(I verified that it works with the SWT and RAP clients.)

The current implementation for the Swing UI always assumes a valid URL as the link target, ignoring the possibility of local anchors. It should be technically feasible to implement this feature (scrolling to a local anchor) also for the Swing client.

Would you mind opening a Bugzilla ticket?
