Page jumping around

Freeway
1

Hi all,

I’ve been playing around with a few different design ideas and I’ve struck a problem. I’ve used target show/hide and rollovers to make a pseudo tab navigation. Problem is that when it’s placed below the top half of the page, clicking a navigation tab jumps the page to the top. I’m not sure whether this is expected behaviour or whether it might have something to do with having scrolling turned on for the target item.

A test page is here - http://www.thetorch.com.au/test5.php scroll to the bottom and click one of the tabs - the page jumps to the top. Can someone let me know if this is normal or if I have done wrong? It works beautifully when it’s placed at the top of the page.

many thanks

This is normal behaviour. What you have is a page anchor on each tab which is set to # - this says to the browser “go to the top of the page”.

If you can, replace the # links with this:
javascript:;

which should keep the page static.

Hi Paul,

Many thanks, will (hopefully) sort it out in the morning
