page jumps when selecting list box

mfild · Mar 12, 2004

Hi,

I have three list boxes. Based on the first selection the second is populated, based on the second, the third is populated. The problem is when you select the first on it refreshes the screen but jumps the page to the top. This happens on each selection. How can I stop this.

Many thanks for any help on this.

Try this,

Code:

<html><head>
	<title>Test</title>
</head><body onload="SetFocus ();">

<script language="javascript">
function SetFocus ()
{
	document.getElementById ('lstItems1').focus ();
}
</script>

<form name="frmMain">

	<select id="lstItems1" onchange="SetFocus ();">
		<option>Item 1</option>
		<option>Item 2</option>
		<option>Item 3</option>
	</select>

	<select id="lstItems2">
		<option>Item 1</option>
		<option>Item 2</option>
		<option>Item 3</option>
	</select>

	<select id="lstItems3" onchange="SetFocus ();">
		<option>Item 1</option>
		<option>Item 2</option>
		<option>Item 3</option>
	</select>

</form>

</body></html>
