Typo3: adds anchor but don't know why

Question

I have a page content element on a page. This has the ID 3 and it has a translation. This element is read out with the following Typoscript

lib.marker = RECORDS
lib.marker {
  tables=tt_content
    source= 3
    dontCheckPid = 1
  languageField = sys_language_uid
    select.languageField = sys_language_uid
}

For the default language everything is OK. But for my additional language I get

<a id="c605"></a>

before the div I originally wanted is displayed. I looked in the HTML of the page content and there is everything like it should be. Any ideas?

Edit:

Here the content gathered through the TS Object Browser:

[tt_content] = CASE
    [key]
    [stdWrap]
        [innerWrap]
        [innerWrap2] = | <p class="csc-linkToTop"><a href="#">{LLL...
        [prepend] = TEXT
            [dataWrap] = <a id="c{field:_LOCALIZED_UID}"></a>
            [if]
                [isTrue]
                    [field] = _LOCALIZED_UID

Are you saying you don't want the anchor at all or that its ID has wrong value? — tmt, Dec 07 '11 at 15:42
I don't want the anchor at all, because I have a stylesheet associated with that anchor and now the design is a little bit destroyed. The anchor shouldn't occur at all. — testing, Dec 07 '11 at 15:52
See my edited answer on how to unset the anchor. However note that anchors are used when you link to a content element. Maybe it would be better to modify the anchor so that it has a CSS class so that you can make sure that it doesn't mess up your layout. — tmt, Dec 07 '11 at 16:09
Currently I have taken the ID and set the CSS to `display:none`. But I wanted to know why this does occur (when it shouldn't). Also I didn't want to use my workaround (CSS). — testing, Dec 07 '11 at 21:19
What shouldn't happen? The anchors "should occur" as they have very good purpose. See that when you create a link in the RTE, you can link directly to a content element. The page is then opened with the given content element at the top of the browser window. Anchors usually don't affect the layout in any way. I don't know how you modified the links and why it causes any problem in your case. — tmt, Dec 09 '11 at 08:58

The default behaviour should be that the anchor is added even in the default language. However, I've just checked and realized that there might be a bug in TYPO3 for which reason I'm actually using different setup.

I think you have 2 options.

a) Unset the anchor completely:

tt_content.stdWrap.prepend >

b) Modify the anchor this way:

tt_content.stdWrap.prepend {
  if >
  dataWrap = <a id="c{field:_LOCALIZED_UID//field:uid}" class="anchor"></a>
}

This should give you an anchor consistently in both default and localized version. Then you should set CSS for a.anchor so that it doesn't screw your layout. I don't know what kind of layout problems it gives so I currently cannot give you more advice on that.

NOTE: The solution works in TYPO3 4.5, might work in later versions but is reported not to work in version 9.x.x and later.

No, it isn't added in the default language. Sorry, do you have a link how to use the Typoscript object browser? I currently don't know what it is and where I can find it. – testing Dec 07 '11 at 15:54

**Template** (in the left menu) then select **Typoscript Object Browser** from the select box. Your whole setup is there as a tree. Open nodes to explore the objects. – tmt Dec 07 '11 at 16:07
It seems that tt_content.stdWrap.prepend.dataWrap causes the problem. I think its a default behavior and shouldn't be changed? Or is my CSS the problem? (But the text element should be used and I cannot set a specific class directly). So should I stay with my workaround? – testing Dec 07 '11 at 21:27
See my edited answer. I would recommend going with the option b). – tmt Dec 09 '11 at 08:54

Thanks for sharing **b)**, very helpful snippet! – maryisdead Apr 14 '13 at 10:59
@ChristianMichael The answer is 7 years old and I'm afraid it might not be usable in current versions of TYPO3. I'll add a note about this to my answer. – tmt Apr 29 '19 at 08:57

I used tt_content.stdWrap.prepend > to remove the anchors, but was still getting them.

Looking a tt_content, anchors are also prepended in to content elements with "no frame" (section_frame = 66).

This should get rid of them:

tt_content.stdWrap.innerWrap.cObject.66.10 >

(Typo3 v4.6)
