trouble opening web pages in the system browser

Hi,

I have attached an example html file that has links inside. Suppose the file located in c:\temp, then if I open it with the matlab browser this link:

web('file:///C:\temp/_instruction_set.html#instr_NO_operation_option')

it works correctely and the "_instruction_set.html#instr_NO_operation_option" inside "_instruction_set.html" is linked.

Now if I try to open it in the system browser:

web('file:///C:\temp/_instruction_set.html#instr_NO_operation_option','-browser')

what it is linked is: "_instruction_set.html", namely the top of the page. I am not able to solve the problem: is it a browser protection (I tried both Chrome and edge with the same negative results)? What to do to workaround?

thank you, gianluigi

The 'file:///' might be an issue, try without it.

I already tried. No difference.

Thank you for your prompt answer.

Hi,

This should work

web("C:\temp/_instruction_set.html#instr_NO_operation_option")

[Gianluigi]

Yes, that works, opened in the matlab web browser. The problems rises when I try to open it in the system browser, using the opt '-browser':

web("C:\temp/_instruction_set.html#instr_NO_operation_option",'-browser')

I noticed now what you mean. Yes, that's an issue, and it's going to be hard to find why does it not move to chosen instruction. Especially since, if you copy and paste link directly into browser, it works.

I am not sure how would you deal with this problem other than to use MATLAB's browser or contact customer service to hear what they think about it. Maybe someone else may take a look at this question.
