Will implementing a 'Scroll to Div Anchor' cause a duplicate content issue?

[AdeLewis]

I have just been building a website for a client with pages that contain a lot of text content. To make things easier for site visitors I have created a menu bar that sticks to the top of the page and the page will scroll to different areas of content (i/e different Div id anchors)

Having done this I have just had the thought that this might inadvertently introduce duplicate content issue.

Does anyone know if adding an #anchor to the end of a url will cause a duplicate content error in google?

For example, would the following URLs be treated as different:-

http://www.mysite.co.uk/services
http://www.mysite.co.uk/services#anchor1
http://www.mysite.co.uk/services#anchor2
http://www.mysite.co.uk/services#anchor3
http://www.mysite.co.uk/services#anchor4

Thanks.

Everything after the # is ignored so this will not cause duplicate content issues. Crawlers will only see a single URL, i.e. http://www.mysite.co.uk/services
