HTML Anchors in Portlets

[Dan Olsen <da...@utah.gov>]

I am wondering if there is a way to put an HTML anchor in a portlet and have it jump to a given point in the portlet? Currently I have an anchor in a portlet with a scroll bar. When I click on the anchor it jumps to that point in the portlet but I only see the very bottom of the portlet. Most of the portlet scrolls up out of view.

I've had it working if you have it at the top of the portlet. However, my portlet would contain a lot of reference links that reference anchors in the portlet and some of those anchors would be at the bottom of the portlet.

Hi Dan,

If your anchor is at the beginning of the container (such as a div) that has
the scrollbar, it should work. I tested it and worked fine for me...  Can
you send your portlet html code?

Also, a while back, I had seen a javascript function keeping track of what
the last scroll position was, but that was for a different issue. Still, you
could look into it if you want to anchor to a specific spot in your portlet.
I don't remember the js code or where exactly it was, but you can google it
if you think that is what you really need.
