Navigate to bookmark

[Dan Normington]

There are times that I need to have the html placeholder control scroll to a bookmark within my content. This seems to work just fine in Internet explorer, but doesn't in Firefox and Chrome. I'm using the following Method within the silverlight c# code once the data has been bound to the placeholder control.

HtmlPage.Window.NavigateToBookmark(bookmark);

I have also tried invoking javascript methods from the silverlight application such as scrollIntoView once I have the element, but this doesn't work either.

The interesting part is that within FireFox and Chrome I see the content initially scroll to the bookmark in the content, but then it ends up scrolling right back up to the top of the page immediately after. Is this a known behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Now I'm finding that it isn't working within Internet Explorer as well. After doing some testing It seems to be a timing issue. If I put an alert popup prior to the HtmlPage.Window.NavigateToBookmark(bookmark); method call it seems to work OK. Is there any event on the placeholder control that tells me that it has completed all rendering/loading?

Hi Dan Normington,

Sorry for the late response to your problem.

We can't get a notification about when the html is rendered in the browser. You can solve your problem by using a timer to check when anchor is already rendered. Please check the attached solution and let us know if you need more info.

Thanks for the response. I ended up writing my own html host control that appears to be working in firefox, IE, and chrome. Bookmarks are scrolled to correctly in all versions.
