anchor call on change of input box

[SonicBoomBand]

I've looked over the forums and the internet, but don't seem to be able to make this work.

This is my current code

<input type=text name=AllocHour onchange=window.location.href='WebESP.ASP?WCI=DNCC&WCE=SetAllocation&AllocHourBar='+AllocHour.value+'&AllocPercVal='+AllocPerc.value size=10 style='text-align: center; font-family:Tahoma' value=0.00>

Two parameters are being based into this url and is calling SetAllocation in my webclass. This all works ok but what I am trying to do is force the refresh to go to an anchor in the page.

I have created an anchor in the page which sits within a table in between rows

.........</tr>
<a name=DNCCAlloc></a>
.........<tr>

After, reading through various forum responses I expected the code below to work

<input type=text name=AllocHour onchange=window.location.href='WebESP.ASP?WCI=DNCC&WCE=SetAllocation&AllocHourBar='+AllocHour.value+'&AllocPercVal='+AllocPerc.value+'#DNCCAlloc' size=10 style='text-align: center; font-family:Tahoma' value=0.00>

but it doesn't.

Does anybody have any ideas where I am going wrong?

Hi

First of all, quote the attribute values.

Hope this is what you meant

I'm sorry I can't see why this would make it work!

Another thing is that the input tag is written as a string in the pages' process tag, so I can't input double quotes.

I've managed to fix it. It seems you need put the anchor arround some text i.e.

<tr><td colSpan=16><b><font face=Tahoma size=2><a name="DNCCAlloc">Use</a> the following to assist with Allocation : Enter the time and % of Allocation</FONT></B></TD></TR>

Also, I was having a bit of a noob moment. For some reason I had the anchor sitting between rows and thus outside the table, which obviously then sets the anchor to the top of the page.

So FYI
.........onchange=window.location.href='WebESP.ASP?WCI=DNCC&WCE=SetAllocation&AllocHourBar='+AllocHour.value+'&AllocPercVal='+AllocPerc.value+'#DNCCAlloc' .........
does actually work.

Thank you for your assistance and patience with me.
