moving the scrollbar down?

[chumba]

i have a menu on top but the frame is in the bottom of the page and everything is redirected to the frame. every time when i click on the menu lets say a forum; i want it to automaticlly scroll down to view the frame once the link is clicked.

That example uses anchors, but I'm not sure that's what you want. (http://www.google.com/search?q=HTML+anchor)

Why are you using frames anyway?

<a href="#1">This is a link</a>

<a name="1"></a>This is the text that the link will lead to.

If you want to know more here is a place that will teach you some of that http://webtoolz.t35.com/html/links.php

The lesson is at the bottom of the page, called "Name Attribute"

[Kravvitz]

IDs and names may not start with a number. (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-name)

He can't use that directly anyway becuase he's already using links.

You can use a bit of JavaScript to do this.

<A href="http://allied-assassins.net/form.html" target="theframe" onclick="location.hash='#iframeTop';">Join us</A>
<A id="iframeTop" name="iframeTop"></A>
<iframe ...

[The Little Guy]

Couldn't he just swich this:

<a href="http://allied-assassins.net/form.html" target="theframe">Join
us</a>

with this:

<a href="#join">Join us</a>


I don't see how that wouldn't work.

[Kravvitz]

The point is to change the location of the iframe and to scroll down so that you can see all (or at least most) of the iframe.

What you are suggesting would only scroll the page.

[The Little Guy]

I believe all he wanted was the page to scroll, according to his example. The page just scrolls. The code I gave his is the exact same code that was in the example, just I changed the word.

(by the way don't use the numer thing, use a word)

[chumba]

He can't use that directly anyway becuase he's already using links.

i tried the Name Attribute tags but it didnt seem to work.i think kravvitz has got it right. i used the javascript in the link code and it worked. thanks for your help guys. ;)
