This would provide value to us on the Cloud environment... to be able to link to an anchor embedded inside an expanded macro and automatically open up that expanded content when a user is going to that anchor link.  Bump...

@Franz Sorry, I'm not sure. Unfortunately I don't have a server environment to try this, and I couldn't find any documentation related to the function. This was just something noted during experimentation.

[@David Pezet|https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=270122f7c34d:] Should this work also on Confluence Server?

To have the link expand, the link needs a little [inlineExtension] after the #. e.g., https://site.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FOO/pages/123456789/bar#[inlineExtension]heading

The native heading anchors don't seem to add this and adding the anchor macro tries adding that little function in there, but it converts the brackets in the link which makes it not work. Seems like a bug on the Atlassian side.

The easiest way to grab a working link is to use the TOC links from the published page. Looks like those don’t convert the brackets.

I discovered we're using a domain booster, so I'm running into a Same Origin Policy issue. Safely ignore this post

Hi, I've added this to my Confluence install and I'm getting mixed results. I wonder if you might be able to help me out if I explain it.

Clicking the link to the heading inside the expand macro does nothing, though the URL updates with the anchor.

If I reload the page now that the anchor part of the URL is present, the page scrolls and the expand macro opens as expected.

Why won't this happen on click?

I'm on Confluence 6.0.5 by the way.

@Stephen Deutsch thank you so much for this workaround. 

Sadly it's not working for me, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? 

I pasted your script in an HTLM macro in my page then put an anchor within an expand macro and created a link to that anchor ("advance" then #anchorname) outside of the expand

It still behaves as before (the link takes me to the right spot but doesn't expand it)

Voting for this feature also. We want to keep our documentation clean and usually use the Expand macro to collapse data but want to be able to jump to it easily from other pages.

Thanks Stanislav, I've updated the code in my comment above.

to Denise and all: if your url contain non-ASCII text, Mozilla firefox encode URL and macros goes to infinite loop  because URL changes every check in .bind('hashchange'... To avoid this need to replace initial hash assignement

var hash = window.location.hash;

with decodeURIComponent(encodedURI) :

var hash = decodeURIComponent(window.location.hash);

works for all browsers!

The ability to easily add anchors within the expand macro that will work without having to edit the source html would be really helpful.
