*chirp chirp* where is everybody today??
Anyways....perhaps this will simplify my problem...
Does anybody know of ANY other method to jump down a page than using:
www.mydomain.com/index.cfm?#internalLink1
<a name="internalLink1">
??
TIA
Cheers

Subject: SOT: Hide/Show page sections and internal anchors
Hey All,
I think I have an idea why this is happening, but can't dream up a solution
right now..
THE SETUP:
-User Account page with 4 sections
-Each section is hidden by default and only shows a section header
-Each section header has a link to show/hide that section (via DHTML...kinda
like panels in the Flash IDE)
-EACH section has sub-sections where the user can add/edit/delete records
THE DESIRED FUNCTIONALITY:
-user chooses to add a record to a sub-section (thus it's section is not
hidden)
-user leaves the page to add the record
-on the record adding confirmation page there is a "finished" button that
links back to their account page (the one with the 4 sections)
-I want the user to go back to the same sub-section they just added a record
to
THE PROBLEM:
I can get the correct section to show upon the user's return (calling the
function onLoad to open that section). The issue that I think is cropping
up is that the browser is attempting to jump down to the correct internal
page anchor (<a name="sectionA">) BEFORE or WHILE the function is running
(onLoad) to show the correct section. So sometimes it jumps to the right
sub-section...sometimes not (well most times not), but the correct section
is always shown.
So does anybody have any ideas? perhaps an alternative to using internal
page anchors?
TIA
Cheers
