scrollTo 1

[nickdel]

Hi, I'm trying to use the scrollTo method when a page is loaded. This appears to work but it just jumps back to the top of the page again. Same thing happens if I add the scrollTo into a hyperlink, screen appears to flicker.

This happens using both IE6 and Mozilla!

document.getElementById("Resv").style.visibility="visible";
			document.getElementById("Arrival").value = BookDate;
			document.getElementById("WeekPrice").value = WeekPrice;
			scrollTo(100,0);

make sure that you're doing the scrolling after the page has loaded - use the onload method to ensure this:

function myScroll() {
   window.scrollTo(100, 0);
}
window.onload = myScroll;

and if you're incorporating it into a link, make sure you have the return false:

<a href="#" onclick="window.scrollTo(100, 0); return false;">Scrolly</a>

cLFlaVA, you hit the nail on the head with your suggestion. It was the return false I was missing!

Many thanks to you both
