Can I make a page open at the last line without having page#zzz in the address bar?

Jake · Jun 7, 2004

Hi all

I have a webpage that contains a long table and it would be nice if on opening with http://page.asp
the browser automatically jumps to the last line, without showing http://page.asp#bottom
in stead of http://page.asp in the address bar.

Currently I use this small script at bottom

---------- table display code----------
--

</tbody>
</table>
<a name='bottom'></a><script type='text/javascript'>window.location = '#bottom';</script>
</body></html>

Is there a way?
Thank you all

Hi Andrew Thompson,

If you want the last line to be prominent..
why not reverse the order of the data?

Thanks for replying,
The idea is not bad, but not practical for a few reasons:
1. The data is coming from a file, where events are appended at the tail, with time/date stamp
2. I prefer having the most recent events at the bottom
3. Option to print the document with browsers button, older events usually on top of page

<body onload="scrollTo(0,9e9)">

The number 9e9 being Stockton's Constant, a large number represented by few
characters.
