Need to Jump to anchor position

[jbarnas]

I am using Montre (dmenu) to show hidden panels in the content area (the example is at:http://www.digitaljoe.info/testserver/products.html)

My problem is that on smaller screens (15") it is hard to tell that a hidden div has been opened.

Is it possible to add an anchor to the javascript to make the div appear and to jump to the displayed block?

I think this should work. Change this link:

<a href="#" onclick="showhide('orderdetails'); return(false);">ORDER DETAILS OPEN/CLOSE</a>
to:

<a href="#details" onclick="showhide('orderdetails'); return(false);">ORDER DETAILS OPEN/CLOSE</a>

And then above the code for the details div, put this:

<a name="details"></a>

You would probably want to take out the return(false); part as well. Just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the reply jonny - I forgot to give a pointer to the Component Box - being the issue (but the OpenClose) script has the same problem. Both are applying a display:block style.

Even if I put the bookmark in visible content area (below the hidden div) for some reason the javascript used to apply the style="display:block" function is disabling the ahref=#(anchorname) navigation command.

Am not enough of a jscripter to know what is happening to what.

Read my post above about the return false part. This is what is disabling your href attribute.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Testingsite but I've been using that command to prevent jump to top of page - still think I have to put the anchors into an array and then call the anchor in javascript.......rather than from HTML command..

Hey!

found that : location.hash = 'test'; (test is the anchor tag)

will scroll the window to an anchor tag (even if it is in a hidden div)

that's one solution - Oh for a smoothe scrollllllll

<a href="#details" onclick="showhide('orderdetails'); return true;">ORDER DETAILS OPEN/CLOSE</a>... will indeed work, and is also nicer for non-JS browsers.

Thanks Thetestingsite:

Removing the return false statement did indeed make the show div function and anchor tag work - sorry for not listening
