I tried this out today and it doesn't seem to work for me, because it only considers relative urls to be "internal." If the urls are full urls (https://domain:port/...) then it won't work. It seems like it should be able to use window.location to work out that these full urls are also "internal" as well.

Thanks for the report! Using fully absolute URLs for internal links is not a very common pattern, and this hadn't been raised before. That said, it's a valid and interesting use case, I'll add it to the roadmap. In the meantime, using root-relative URLs (starting with /) is the recommended approach.

Thanks for the report! This is now fixed in v1.4.4.

µJS now resolves URLs using the native URL constructor and compares origin against window.location.origin. This means all same-origin URLs are correctly recognized as internal: - Absolute URLs: https://domain:port/page - Relative URLs: ../page.html, page.html - Local paths: /page (already worked)

Hash-only links (#section) are intentionally left to the browser for native anchor scrolling.
