keeping page fixed when dispalying new window

[c3media]

Hi. I have an asp/htm page that clicks a link and a floating window appears with supplementary info. Works great.

My problem is that when I scroll down on the initial page to find the desired link, then click on it to display the requested floating window, the initial page always moves back to the top - and then I have to re-scroll down to click on the next desired link. I want the initial page 'not to move' after the window appears - so that I can easily click on several links one after the other.

help. thanks.

Does the link that opens a window look something like this:

<a href="#" onclick="some javascript to open a new window">click me</a>

If so, then the culprit is the # value for the href. That will cause your page to jump to the top. If this is your problem, then you can solve it with the following code:

<a href="[!]javascript:void(0)[/!]" onclick=".....">click me</a>

Or, you can always just put the location of the new page as the href and specify a target to open in a new window:
[small](this would be the preferred method because it requires no javascript)[/small]

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://location_of_new_page"[/URL] [!]target="_new"[/!]>click me</a>

If this does not solve your problem then you will probably need to post back with a bit more information and possibly some code samples.

This sounds like a question on client-side behavior rather than a question specific to Active Server Pages.
