kvarnerexpress 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 Does anyone know if there is a javacript command to bring the browser to the same part of a long page after a refresh called by a pop up (populating a db).I have tried various methods including refresh() and reload() as well as redirecting back to the original page in the opener window.Does this functionality exist ?? please help...

SystemWisdom 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 What you are looking for is possible, but it is not JavaScript.. Rather, it is part of the HTML standard. Just use simple anchor tags (<a>) but instead of using the href attribute, you use the name attribute. That creates an anchor to a page spot (like half way down a long page).. then, when you want to link to that page AT the anchored spot you would use: index.html#named_anchor The pound sign '#' is a directive that says "look for an anchor in this page with the same name.." or something of the sort.. An example would be: Filename = mypage.html: <html><head></head><body><a name="pageTop"></a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><a href="mypage.html#pageTop">Go To Top of Page</a></body></html> I hope you could follow that.. it is pretty simple really.. And you don't have to direct to the top of a page, it could be anywhere, wherever you put the <a name="pageTop"></a> tag(s) you can link to.. I hope that helps!
