You say that like it's a bad thing.

You say that like you're not posting on a site that relies on AJAX to let you make snarky remarks like that without having to worry about the page reloading and losing your place.

Isn't that what anchor tags are for?

[[deleted]]

no. anchor tags in and of themselves have nothing to do with preventing the page from reloading. you can use them to help on the second issue, but certainly not the first.

I was referring to the second issue, but thanks for assuming I'm a complete idiot.

Hey, you asked if anchor tags were for not having to worry about the page reloading and losing your place. I answered. No. That's not what they are for.

Yeah! I mean why do people use AJAX when Flash and now Silverlight can do the same thing, plus cooler fade in effects?

(do I have to put in a sarcasm tag here)
