Help with html name anchor

[Riparian]

Is there a way the trigger a html name anchor as a result of a search ?

 

Explanation : A page of names and details with say 50 entries. I would like a quick name search at the top that jumps to a named anchor that I have set up during the while loop.

 

I currently have this working by displaying a hyperlink  after the search has found the name but I have to click the hyperlink... 2 actions for the same process and 3 refreshes of the screen

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Thanks heaps

I don't quite understand. I hope this helps. Someone simply enters the name of the anchor into the text field and it searches for that anchor and brings you to the name of that anchor.

<script>
function search_anchor(object)
{
_anchor = object.value;
parent.location = '#' +  _anchor;
}
</script>

<input id="search" type="text" name="search" />
<input type="button" value="Search" onClick="search_anchor(search)"/>

I'm having a problem closing threads as well.

Don't reply to this and look for a blue button that has "topic resolved" on it.  See if that works.  I'll check back.
