I can only presume it's something to do with the window refreshing itself when it is resized? Yep. More to the point, the page does NOT refresh when the window is resized. Why? Because there is no link between the state of the page and the state of the browser window. So you'll have to create one Since you're already using JS, you can probably figure something out with that. Now I'm no JS-head, but I reckon something like this might do the trick : body onResize=location.reload(); Stuffed if I know how standards-compliant that is, though (seeing as I avoid JS like the plague!)

Title: RE: [WSG] new window losing it's anchor place Hi Wendy 1. Where is #how_work on the page? 2. You should also add onkeypress=window.open(this.href, 'popupwindow', 'toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=300,height=300'); return false; just to make sure it's available via keyboard only.

RE: [WSG] new window losing it's anchor place
Title: RE: [WSG] new window losing it's anchor place Not sure how onkeypress would interfere with other similar links on the page - the link can be tabbed to and therefore works via keyboard only. The page that opens in the new window has a number of anchor links - this is just one of them. I've tried changing to different anchors and the same problem occurs, unless it is the last anchor on the page and there is no where else for the window to shift to. I can only presume it's something to do with the window refreshing itself when it is resized?
