Go to anchor on page load on FireFox 1

Sleidia · Jun 13, 2007

Hi guys,

I have this in the Javascript section of my layout:

Code:

window.onload = "document.location.href = document.location + '#myanchor'

But it doesn't work on Firefox. No move at all.

So, how can I make it work without doing a <body onload="... ?
I don't want to have the code in the body tag because it would make IE wait before the page is fully loaded, which is bad because I want the anchor to be targeted before the images are finished to be downloaded.

Thanks

Hi

Correct, it should not work, as it is incorrect. The event handlers are [tt]function[/tt]s, not [tt]String[/tt]s. ( Assuming that in reality you closed the double quotes ( " ) so it is at least syntactically correct. )

Code:

window.onload = [red]function() {[/red] document.location.href = document.location + '#myanchor' [red]}[/red]

But personally I prefer :

Code:

window.onload = function() { window.location.hash = '#myanchor' }
