Hi Monz,

Graham has just told me that the reason it happens is that
the browser will split the url up before loading the page,
and only sends the bit before the bookmark to the server.

It would use the bookmark then after the page is loaded
and since it is looking at the frame set page rather than within
one of the frames, it won't find it.

You can escape the urls instead, i.e. replace # by %23:

So I've done a new version of the index and index2.htm as it needs
to unescape the urls in case the user uses it that way.

http://www.robertinventor.com/enc/index2.htm?chromatic.htm%23semitone
will now have the same effect as
http://www.robertinventor.com/enc/index2.htm?chromatic.htm&semitone

and if calling in javascript a user might choose to use
escape('index2.htm?chromatic.htm#semitone');
same effect as 'index2.htm?chromatic.htm&semitone'
which I've left in as it is easier to type - just one
extra character instead of 3.
