I've asked loads of people now and nobody's managed to help me fix it yet...
I'm using this tag to make a div's scrollbar move to the top: <div id="scroll"> <p id="top">blah blah blah</p> <!-- more content --> <a href="#top">Top</a></div> When you click on the 'Top' link it does send the div's scrollbar back to the top. However, it also sends the main window's scrollbar to the bottom. I'm guessing this is just browser behaviour but does anyone know how I can stop this happening? I've already tried changing the link to # instead of #top so it'll just reload the page but, for some reason, this doesn't send the div's scrollbar back to the top. Any suggestions? |

I'm kind of following you, but can't really quite imagine what you're explaining. Can you post a URL to the actual page in question?

He has a fixed size div with overflow: auto and wants it to act as a window so he can link to an anchor within that div and make it scroll without this affecting the main window. That's not possible with HTML. Possibly it is with JavaScript, but I don't know how to do it.

It does seem to work (in my browser (Safari) anyway), using the usual named anchor, instead of a, for this purpose inappropriate, P element.

Why is that inappropriate?
 Are you sure you included enough content above the scrolling DIV to make it necessary for the window to scroll to put the id/name at top? All browsers on Windows do the same thing and I kinda think that's the right thing to do. |

Yep, you're right. I did put quite some content above, but apparently not enough, so I tried again, with the same result as you.
And, I never knew that even a P would work as anchor. One's never too old to learn.  |

Yeah, any id within BODY. Not Netscape safe, of course, but apart from that it's a beaut as my aussie friend says.

QUOTE Not Netscape safe Specifically, not NN4 safe. Newer versions of NN use the Gecko engine (like Firefox, only different). |
