Way to position view after page refresh

[mikeleblanc]

hi below is the format of my html,

 

table1...............

table2..............

table3..............

table4.-............

href button

 

My question is whe my user clicks on href the php page is updates but i would like the view position to be in table4 not on top table1.  How do I do this?

 

Thanks,

Do you mean that you want the viewing window of the browser to go directly to table 4?

 

You can do this by giving the table a name value (name="table4"), then add #table4 onto the end of the link (<a href="page.html#table4">).

Not sure what your saying, please us correct grammar...

[balistic]

the way haku mentioned is the easiest way, however you could always use a switch.

[mikeleblanc]

so is this correct?

 

<td><a href="<?php print("$thispage?rowNumber=".$previous);?>"#suggestion>Previous</a></td>

That code will work. But it is best if you use echo, not print.

[mikeleblanc]

Below did not work?  Any ideas please?

 

<td><a href="<?php print("$thispage?rowNumber=".$previous);?>"#suggestion>Previous</a></td>

 

[dclamp]

Well since we dont have telepathic powers, why dont you post your code?

[mikeleblanc]

got it, this one works instead

 

<td><a href="<?php print("$thispage?rowNumber=".$previous."#suggestion");?>">Previous</a></td>

Below did not work?  Any ideas please?

 

<td><a href="<?php print("$thispage?rowNumber=".$previous);?>"#suggestion>Previous</a></td>

 

 

 

In case you don't know what was wrong, the #suggestion was outside of the href="" tag.

ah I didnt notice that the first time. Should be using php tags as well as cleaner code.

[mikeleblanc]

What's the PHP tag alternative?

[mikeleblanc]

And do you make that code cleaner?

[corbin]

I think he meant php tags on the forum.

 

 

[ php ]

[/ php]

 

or

 

[ code ]

[/ code]

 

(no spaces)

 

 

Although, maybe that's not what he meant.  I don't usually put short code in php or code tags.

[dclamp]

the php tags are [ php] your code [/code]

 

?>
<td>
     <a href="<?php echo $thispage; ?>?rowNumber=<?php echo $previous; ?>#suggestion">Previous</a>
</td>

 

much cleaner to me.
