    Window scrolling (clarification)

    This is a clarification of a previous message, which was not expressed
    very well. I have a set of checkboxes near the bottom of the page and
    a function that checks or unchecks all of them. But when the function
    runs, the window scrolls to the top of the page.

    How can I set my checkboxes but leave the window's scroll position
    exactly where it is? Or at least have it scroll to the bottom (where
    the checkboxes are).

    I've tried using window.scrollTo (), but the window always scrolls to
    the top no matter what. It's the same in Navigator and IE.

    Here's my code:

    function checkAll(whichF orm, startIndex, endIndex)
    {
    for (var j = startIndex; j <= endIndex; j++)
    {
    document.forms[whichForm].elements[j].checked = true;
    }
    window.scrollTo (0, 1000);
    }

    Thanks,

    Ethan

      Hi,

      Can you show how this function is called? I suspect you are using something
      like:

      <a href="#" onclick="checkA ll(blabla)">

      If so, add a "return false" to prevent the link to do its actual work

      <a href="#" onclick="checkA ll(blabla);retu rn false">

      Fred

          That's the answer. Thank you very much.
