Snap to top of page...

[heizer1]

Hello,
I have not done much javascripting so this might be really easy. I have
a page that has anchors in it and I want to force that page to always
snap to the top instead of to the position when someone clicks on the
href to takethem to the anchor.

Thanks,
- Charles

<a href="#">top</a>

<a href="#anAnchor"
onclick="location='#';return false;">false anchor</a>

I did find what I was looking for. Since I don't know JS very well I
was not sure how to put it. Anyways, I added
onfocus="window.scrollTo(0,0);" to my body tag and everything is now
working.

For suitable values of "to work".

- It will break with a runtime error (ReferenceError or TypeError) where
client-side scripting, but not this proprietary method, is supported.[1]

- It is not Valid markup, and will silently fail where this proprietary
attribute is not supported.[2]

- It will be an annoyance for the rest of the users.[3]

Why don't you go snowboarding instead?
