[PHP] Retaining scroll position after asynchronous refresh
Hello all- I have a php script that generates a web page with a bunch of scrollable frames, and then asynchronously refreshes the page. If the user has scrolled down in any of the frames, when the refresh occurs it has scrolled back to the top of all the frames. Is there a way I can retain the scroll position so after the refresh the frames are shown at the same location as before the refresh? I have googled and googled for this, but everything I find is ASP or C# or Java. My stuff is straight php/html. How can I do this with that?

Re: [PHP] Retaining scroll position after asynchronous refresh
I't was a long time ago when i programed in js but the first thin that pops up in my mind is that there is a function where you can read and set the values of the scrollbars. I found this when I googled it: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/community/aspnet/3/10002280/scroll-positions.aspx http://www.eggheadcafe.com/community/aspnet/3/10002280/scroll-positions.aspx http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread60189.html ** Hans Åhlin Tel: +46761488019 icq: 275232967 http://www.kronan-net.com/ irc://irc.freenode.net:6667 - TheCoin ** 2010/7/23 Larry Martell larry.mart...@gmail.com Hello all- I have a php script that generates a web page with a bunch of scrollable frames, and then asynchronously refreshes the page.

I forgot, this *is* Friday (as Daniel reminded me) -- so everyone
here's the code I provided to Larry.
-larry:
This is a problem that can be solved via javascript. The process is
that you create a cookie containing the scroll position value before
the operation (whatever that may be) and then you restore the page
back to where it was after the operation.
The following is the javascript code I wrote several years ago -- it
works for me.
Cheers,
tedd
--- javascript ---
addLoadListener(init);
function init()
{
window.onscroll = function()
{
var scrollpos = getScrollingPosition();
document.title = 'left=' + scrollpos[0] + ' top=' + scrollpos[1];
//--create a cookie named scrollPosition and put the vertical
scroll amount in the value
var cookieName = scrollPosition;
var cookieValue = scrollpos[1];
var theCookie = cookieName + = + cookieValue;
document.cookie = theCookie;
};
return true;
}
function getScrollingPosition()
{
var position = [0, 0];
if (typeof window.pageYOffset != 'undefined')
{
position = [
window.pageXOffset,
window.pageYOffset
];
}
else if (typeof document.documentElement.scrollTop != 'undefined'
(document.documentElement.scrollTop 0 ||
document.documentElement.scrollLeft 0))

position = [
document.documentElement.scrollLeft,
document.documentElement.scrollTop
];
}
else if (typeof document.body.scrollTop != 'undefined')
{
position = [
document.body.scrollLeft,
document.body.scrollTop
];
}
return position;
}
function addLoadListener(fn)
{
if (typeof window.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
window.addEventListener('load', fn, false);

else
{
window.onload = function()
{

}
}
}
function getCookie(searchName)

var cookies = document.cookie.split(;);
for (var i = 0; i cookies.length; i++)
{
var cookieCrumbs = cookies[i].split(=);

How can I do this with that? how are you doing the refresh? a location header or http meta tag? both of those are gross imo - try ajax and i bet your problem goes away. -nathan
