window scrolling problem 2

[foxphpbomb]

I have a function that is invoked on an onclick event linked to some text, that sets the diplay property of a row just below the link to block from none.

The problem is that the page is verticlaly very long and when the javascript is invoked, I get scrolled all the way to the top, and then have to scroll all the way down to get to the point where I was before and the newly visible row.

I need to add something to this function that anchors me to the point in the page where I invoked the function.

This kind of thing happens when you use an anchor:

<a href="#" onclick="someFunc();">click me</a>

The javascript function will be run, and then the href will be visited (the # part) -- causing the page to reload at the id specified (# in this case relates to the top of the page). You can prevent this many ways...

<a href="#" onclick="someFunc();[!]return false;[/!]">click me</a>

Or...

<a href="javascript://" onclick="someFunc();">click me</a>

Or...

<a href="javascript:someFunc();">click me</a>

The first method (using return false) is the preferred method

I hope this is of value to your problem. If not... we might need to see the code where you do this.

Cheers,
Jeff

the return false worked, brilliant!
