It doesn't as Toby says. The fragment is stripped off by the UA and is
stored in the UA's memory. The server only receives the
scheme, host, port, [user], [password], path, and [query]
then when the page loads the UA uses the stored fragment to find the
hash on the page if it exists.
You can see this in action by tailing the access_log of a web server.
For example on my site the URL:
http://www.littleworksstudio.com/gallery.php?sr=10&byid=ckcs#BMckcs0223
shows as:
###.###.###.### - - [13/Jul/2007:11:22:04 -0400] "GET
/gallery.php?sr=10&byid=ckcs HTTP/1.1" 200 30228 "-" "Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:
1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070509 SeaMonkey/1.1.2 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0"
Note the missing fragment "#BMckcs0223"
I came across this a while back when I converted an old JavaScript
navigation management system to PHP which generated the breadcrumb trail.
I did read some discussion on including the fragment in server-side
processing, but who knows if it will ever change.
A workaround is to pass as query string value and convert to a fragment
as BTS suggested.

Take care,
