Ajax expert help needed

[786snow]

Hi,

I have this site. if you click on the menue you see bottom part changes.

http://natradersonline.com/temp/index.php

It is done through ajax call. If you click on the menue that says FAQ, bottom part changes asusual. What I want, i want when some one clicks FAQ and bottom part changes I want page to show question that says

"Can a tax attorney actually cut my tax burden"

So page needs to reposition itself to the middle

which we normally do when we have seperate pages(not Ajax)





<a name='qa1' id='qa1'></a>


and then the link

http://natradersonline.com/temp/faq.php#qa1

someone suggested me using in the content loaded by AJax



<a name="qal" id="qal"></a>

<script>
window.location='qal';


</script>


that did not reposition the page

How can I take care of this problemn as I am using Ajax, i will appreciate your help

Ok, you are updating the content using:

new Ajax.Updater("copy", file_name+".html.php");

After this code, use the prototype function:

Element.scrollTo('id_target_object');

This will do what you were looking for.

As a recommendation, I would lose the onclicks in the menu and replace them with Event.observer (also available in prototype).

Best of luck!

thanks for yuor reply, this

'id_target_object' is this the anchor ? like

<a name="id_target_object" id="id_target_object"></a>

secondly should that be in the content loaded by Ajax or in the main page?

i tried

http://natradersonline.com/temp/index.php

I put

<a name='page_position1' id='page_position1'></a>

on the main page, but it does not scroll, i don't know why, i put alert to confirm if condition it geting executed , but still does not work.

Try changing the anchor to this:

<a id="page_position1">&nbsp;</a>

If that doesn't work, I would suggest downloading a newer version of prototype (I've been using 1.5.0_rc1 in production)

You can download it along with the scriptaculous library:

Let us know your results!
