What's the best way of using hash tags for page navigation as well as anchor navigation?

Question

I'm making a web application that uses hash tags for page navigation like this

http://foo.bar.com/#pages/home

I just realized that one of my pages is going to be kind of huge, containing it's own tree-structured menu with links that should scroll the page to different anchor tags in the page. Obviously I can't use actual hash tags for that now, since they are busy. I'm going to have to use a programmatic solution with an URL like this

http://foo.bar.com/#pages/home/section

Or would it be possible to use more than one hash symbol, perhaps changing it to this?

http://foo.bar.com/#!/pages/home#section

But how can this be done programmatically anyway?

Answer 1

I'd scrap the broken use of hashbangs, switch to using the history API instead and give serious consideration to the question of "If that much content is being replaced, is loading it via Ajax really providing a benefit?"

Your Question does not seem clear to me,

If your page is too large, you could go for pagination using AJAX and PHP, for more http://www.codediesel.com/php/simple-pagination-in-php/

or http://www.99points.info/2011/01/ajax-pagination-using-jquery-and-php-with-animation/

Other wise, if you still want things to be in URL #tags, then you can go with it. I doubt you could give something like this "http://foo.bar.com/#pages/home/ "

You could also try URL rewriting http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
