[Javascript/HTML]Jump to anchor AND execute javascript? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Jinn · 10-27-2006, 08:35 AM

I've got a javascript function "sendRequest" that I wrote which replaces a div called "article" in my page with text given to it by a PHP function. They're news articles.

The articles themselves also have the links javascript:sendRequest('articlename');" in them. If the user has scrolled far down in the document and clicks the link, it replaces the div with the new article. However, it doesn't jump to the top like typical Web users would expect. Is there a way to jump to a #id within the page after calling the javascript div replace?

Thanks in advance.

Here is the Javascript function call as a link in like this

Code:

<a href="javascript:scroll(0,0)">Top</a>

use the link or just the function itself...
