I'm puzzled???

I use a script to open a new browser window without menu bar, scroll bar etc. Just a bare window.

Now I noticed that when I use anchors for navigation, on the page that is displayed in that window, the whole window content is shifted up.

To show what I mean, I have created a test page (http://www.duwgati.com/uk/test.htm) for you.

Just click one of the links and see what happens.
Is there any way to prevent that from happening???

Thanks

All I see is a blank page.

You're using anchors, that's exactly why the entire content is shifted up.

Whatever the anchor is pointed to, that's gonna be the first line in the window so the user can see it easier.

Bruce, once you click on the link, it opens a new window ontop of the window that FWS opens.

OK, so nothing to do about that then huh....

Well thanks for the explanation.

I'll have to think of another way to reach my goal then.

@Robert,

I have done some further testing, but I think the problem must be in the window definition somewhere, not in the anchor.

just see the difference:
- When opened by Java script (http://www.duwgati.com/uk/test.htm)
- When opened in a normal browser window (http://www.duwgati.com/uk/testLR.htm)

The first sample will shift the entire window content up, when you click any link on that page.
The second sample will only shift the content of the iFrame and leave the top part of the page in place.

Could this perhaps be a bug in I.E. 6.0?
