Start on specific row in a table

[VBGuy2112]

Hello.

I have a large table with several rows and I have a vertical scroll bar goin' on. I'm looking to start the page with a specific row(not the 1st row) of the table be the first one displayed. In other words, when the page comes up I'd like to have it already scrolled to say "half-way" and have a row of my choice be the first one showing. Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks!

use a code like this in your table
<a href=&quot;#&quot; name=&quot;sectorname&quot;>
then call the url like

http://somewhere.com/mypage.html#sectorname

Thanks for the reply. I can't seem to get it to work though. When I call the page with my table on it, there are some parameters too that go with it.

This is the line I use to call my page:

response.redirect(&quot;TablePage.asp#sectorname?FacilityNo=&quot; & strFacilityNo & &quot;&ClientNo=&quot; & strClientNo)


Then the row in my table contains:

response.write &quot; <td width=80><a href=&quot;&quot;#&quot;&quot; name=&quot;&quot;sectorname&quot;&quot;>&quot; & strFontColor & _
objRecSR.Fields(&quot;ClientNo&quot & &quot;</td>&quot;

The parameters get lost using the #sectorname.

What am I doing wrong?

The correct URL would be like TablePage.asp?query-string#anchor-name //Daniel

I tried:

response.redirect(&quot;TablePage.asp?FacilityNo=&quot; & _
strFacilityNo & &quot;&ClientNo=&quot; & strClientNo & &quot;#sectorname&quot

but that didn't work either. The parameters were lost again and it still didn't start on the anchor. Any other suggestions?

Ha!! It worked!! The problem was when I called my page with the #anchor, I needed to put an &quot;&&quot; before it just as each parameter in the query string. The website you gave didn't have it in there either but the explanation was very informative.

Thank you everyone for responding!!
