asked on
calling location.href from javascript in firefox doesn't work
Hello,
My problem is the following:
I want to automatically redirect or move to specific bookmark under HTML using directive location.href from javascript.
Here is the example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script language="JavaScript">
location.href='#tokens';
</script>
.
.
. <!—Bookmark-->
<a name="tokens"></a>
.
.
.
</BODY>
</HTML>
In IE the example above works fine, but in firefox doesn't.
Instead of move to specific bookmark I got an empty page.
I assume this is because Firefox doesn't find the bookmark at that time because the rest of the page it's not loaded yet.
I've tried to move javascript at the end of the page, but it does not work either.(At least I don't get an empty page, but it does not move to the bookmark)
Does anyone know what could be the issue and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Herman

Can you explain why do you grade our support to you with a grad of B?
ASKER
That is because I clicked "good" when I accepted an answer.
Why I did not click "excellent" is because your answers did not solve my problem at first hand, but it definitely helped me to solve it.
That’s what I did:
"onload" directive or property is definitely what I needed.
We can use "onload" directive like this:
1. <BODY onload="location.hash='tok
or like this
2.<BODY>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = init;
function init()
{
location.hash='tokens'
}
</script>
I chose the second option.
That’s why I splited points on half to show, that both of your answers helped me solve my problem. I hope it is fair enough.
So, thanks to both of you again.

You are welcome.
And thanks for the feedback.
But if you were such good that you could grade how execlent or not our solution was, then you had not ask questions.
So is the grading only a ThankYou for the valuable time of Experts that supported you.
Give grade B only if you get dissappointed after several requests for clarification.
The next time ;-)
So long,

As a matter of fact I grade your answers only because I was forced by page to do so.
There were 4 grade options if I remember correctly:
-Excellent (the answer is perfect hit)
-Good (the answer is very helpful, but needs a little more experimenting)
-Average (the answer maybe gives you new ideas)
-Poor (the answer is insufficient)
That's how I see this grading.
I would say, that expert-exchange web designers gave this option on this page to make
customers able to grade the answers they've got.
The customers are giving their points (bought) away to get an answer, so I think this approach is completely correct to grade an answer.
<But if you were such good that you could grade how excellent or not our solution was, then you had not ask questions.> I do not see problem here. Customers are "paying" for answers and so do I. And I think they have rights to grade an answer they got.
I bought my points because I have no time to earn it.
<Give grade B only if you get disappointed after several requests for clarification.> For that I would give "poor" (grade E if I’m correct.)
But I could be wrong :)

But realize that you are getting some AMAZING IT professionals consulting time for a measly 10 dollars a month and try to respect that most can bill for WELL above that at an hourly rate, billing in quarter hour increments.
