Thanks Michal. Yes this works as long as my split level matches
the table of content I am generating.

For example, if I have this latex

-------
\documentclass[12pt]{book}%

\usepackage{lipsum}
	
\begin{document}
\ifdefined\HCode
\Configure{tableofcontents*}{chapter}
\else
\setcounter{tocdepth}{0} %for toc
\tableofcontents
\fi

\ifdefined\HCode
\TocAt{chapter,section}%this says to make TOC for each chapter page
\fi

\tableofcontents	

\chapter{chapter 1}
\lipsum[2-4]

\section{section one in chapter 1}
\lipsum[2-4]

\section{section two in chapter 1}
\lipsum[2-4]


\chapter{chapter 2}
more important text
  	
\end{document}
----------------------

And compile using split level 2

make4ht -ulm default -a debug -c A.cfg A.tex 'mathjax,htm,2'

Then the links on the table of content on the chapter page
do _not_ work, since the sections inside the page are on same
page and not separate (as you said).

But this, now using 3 split level instead of 2, makes it work

make4ht -ulm default -a debug -c A.cfg A.tex 'mathjax,htm,3'

Now links in TOC in the chapter work and do not have
the shift problem.

So I think your new .cfg could work for me, I just need
to make sure the split level I am using matches correctly
with my use of these generated table of contents.

The problem is that the web pages are too complicated and
some have different split levels and TOC's all over the place,
so I need to change things.

I will see if I can use your .cfg.  It would be nice if the
software figures this all itself automatically, but this
may be just too complicated to do for all possible cases.
