move down the page using OnLoad()

[wjl11]

Hello,
I have a database navigation page that allows 'next n' and 'prev n' navigation. When the user goes to 'next n' the page is reloaded with the new data, but the info is not on the initial display because it is near the bottom.
Is there a way to use the OnLoad() function to get the page to go a specific place after its loaded?
Thanks,
Will

yes:

for an absolute position:
window.scrollTo(x,y);

or for a relative position:
window.scrollBy(x,y);

x and y are pixels. =========================================================
while (!succeed) try();

Thanks!
Is there any chance that the browser knows where it was on the previous page, and that I can use a function to get there? IE: window.ScrollTo(whereever you were before)?

I don't know if this will work, but what you can try doing is I assume there is a link to get user to next n. You can put a <span id=pos> around the link and when the page is loaded do a focus() to that id. Good Luck.
