Base url and anchor tag

Hello!

Because some of my visitors are using rather outdated browsers, those visitors/browsers seem to have problems resolving relative URLs on my pages. So, I thought it might be a good idea to introduce the base URL tag on all of my pages. Unfortunately, this breaks some JavaScript that is triggered by common anchor tags.

For example:
http://www.nikehydraulics.se/products/test_page_gb.php? productMaingroup=1&productSubgroup=10

On this page I have an anchor like:
<a href="#detailed" onClick="MM_showHideLayers ('detailedData','','show','commonData','','hide')">Detailed data</a>

Test the page by clicking on the tab saying "Detailed data". As far as I can see, the anchor tag is "translated" into: http:// www.nikehydraulics.se/products/test_page_gb.php#commonData
The request query is stripped off. Is this behaviour correct?

Is the complete URL including the request query essential for resolving relative URLs?

I can find anything in W3C specs (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/ links.html#h-12.4) about including request queries. Blind?

Any ideas?
