    I'm looking to get an anchor in the page for a mod rewrite

    This is what I've tried but it doesnt go to the anchor

    RewriteRule ^anchor-in-page$ /page.php#anchor-in-page [L]


    Any ideas?

    Anchor tags are technically part of HTML rather than HTTP, so AFAIK it's not possible to do any sort of HTTP redirect to them. When you enter www.example.com/#blah your browser actually just requests / on host www.example.com - the anchor text is scrolled to as part of the HTML parser.

    You could either redirect using a META REFRESH or some javascript - not as good as a 301 search engine wise but at least it will work.
