Firefox and Javascript location problem

I've been working on making my ASP.NET web apps compatible with Firefox (the
uplevel configs for web.config are a real help).

However, one really weird thing is a GotoAnchor() function I have (server
side), which injects javascript along the lines of:

location = '#buttons';

I use this so that, following postback, I can just back down to the relevant
part of the page.

It works fine in IE, but not in Firefox! Furthermore, I seem to loose other
Javascript injected following it (it's not simply malfunctioning, it's not
rendered by .NET!).

Any ideas why this is happening? Maybe a second postpack?

I can work around it by only emitting the javascript with IE - it's not the
end of the world. But a way to get similar functionality on Firefox would be
great.

Thanks,

John

Try whether
window.location.hash = '#buttons';
works better.

What does the Firefox JavaScript console show? Any error messages?
 
Great, thanks! 'window.location.hash' solves the problem.

My original command must have been causing Firefox to reload the page a
second time following postback - there wern't any errors in the page, just a
lack of injected javascript!

I've now got full Firefox functionality (don't try saying that after a few
beers).
