 Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 4:06 am Why does this expanding list always jumps to top of page? |
 |

|
Once the list expands longer than what is displayed in the browser window, the list jumps to the top. Grrr!
www.freewebs.com/softwarelocations
I am no JavaScript wizard by any means. I got the code from Inside Dynamic HTML by Scott Isaacs, page 318, Expanding and Collapsing Outlines.
I would guess that the var pos = 0; has everything to do with it but my limited JS experience has not allowed any of my modifications to work without the dreaded A Runtime Error has occured.
Many, many thanks in advance for assistance with this! |

I decided to get my own domain.
The new site is www.softwarelocations.com
A colleague tells me the behavior of jumping to the top of a page is because of this tag: <a href="#">. The example of an expanding/collapsing list had this identical tag. When I take out the # character and use only <a href="">, the expanding stops working completely.
What does <a href="#"> do with the # character and what are my alternatives?
Thanks |

Got it...
Change <a href="#"> to just <a>. In the css, add a{cursor:hand;} otherwise you won't see a visual cue that you are hovering over a link, even though the link will still work without the hand. |

There must be a character/characters inside the quotes for the link to display as a link. I use <a href="#nogo"> and have no trouble. |
