How to Take User to Specific Place on Popup HTML Page? 1

[flasher40]

Hi, I'm using the following code to open one html page as a popup while on a different html page:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

function load() {
var load = window.open('stereo_camera_platform_details.html','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,fullscreen=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no');
}
</script>



<a href="javascript:load()"><strong><font color="#7C0019">
<FONT FACE="arial" SIZE="2" COLOR="#7C0019" onmouseover="this.style.color='#3300FF'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#7C0019'">
CLICK HERE</font></strong></a> <font color="#000000">
for a step-by-step explanation.


In one case, I'd like to modify the above code so that when the popup window is opened, the user is taken to a specific place on the html page instead of being at the beginning of the page. Is there a way to do that? I assume some kind of code would have to be embedded in the popup html and referenced in the code shown above.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi

<script type="text/javascript">
function load([red]where[/red]) {
  [red]where=where?'#'+where:'';[/red]
window.open('stereo_camera_platform_details.html'[red]+where[/red],'','[gray]...[/gray]');
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:load()">CLICK HERE</a> for open pop-up

<a href="javascript:load([red]'lets_say_second_chapter'[/red])">CLICK HERE</a> for open pop-up and scroll to relevant part

And in the document you open in the pop-up window have something like :

[gray]...[/gray]

<h2><a name="[red]lets_say_second_chapter[/red]">Second Chapter</a></h2>

[gray]...[/gray]

Feherke,

Your suggestion works, sort of. But when the pop-up occurs, there is no scroll bar to scroll from that point. Any other suggestions to fix that?

Thanks,
Bill

Does the content go outside of the browser window - i.e. is there any reason a browser would show them?

If you remove the "fullscreen" attribute, and shrink the window, do you see scrollbars when the content is too big for the window?

Bill,

How did you go? Did you resolve the scrollbar issue?
