I am experiencing an infuriating problem on a couple of my pages.
Say, I have a window open and i have scrolled partially
down the window (e.g like a catalogue list). I click on a link which opens an href in a new window (e.g. product detail screen)...fine... but the parent catalogue window scrolled/reset back to the top of the page. Not very useful if i wish to continue browsing.
I also get the same problem if the 'catalogue window' is
in a frame and the 'detail' target is in second frame...
i.e the parent frame 'scrolls' back to the top.
This 'problem' is happening on ie5 but does not happen on ie4 or Netscape. I am using an Open Window function for the first case and a parent.frame[x].location command for the second case.
Anyone any ideas?... at my wits end on this.
