Ok, this should be SO simple. Never done it in CF.
Add normal links, database derived ... <a href="#number#"> and sprinkle through a summary.
Then use a URL like

example.cfm?parm1=a&parm2=b#1
or example.cfm?parm1=a&parm2=b&#1
or example.cfm?parm1=a&parm2=b&##1
or example.cfm#1?parm1=a&parm2=b&##1

Simply cannot get it to work. What obvious thing am I overlooking.
using IE and Firefox.

Cheers

Robert

    If your links are within a <CFOUTPUT> block, the # character indicates that the following characters are a CF variable. You need to escape the # by using ## instead. Try using
    example.cfm?parm1=a&parm2=b##1
    or example.cfm##1?parm1=a&parm2=b##1

    Thanks djeline

    However, if you look at my example I already tried escaping them.
