Preventing browser scroll back to top on window open and move

[Karl Wilkens]

Hi,

We have a very tall form with a href links throughout. If a  user scrolls down, and clicks a link, this opens a radwindow. We are getting the current x and y pos of the mouse so that we set the radwindow position to something relative to where the mouse is - the goal being to just have the window appear wherever you are at in the position of the screen. However, when the radwindow opens, the browser resets the scroll position so we are looking at the top of the page - with our radwindow way down and invisible.

How can we open a rad window, and set its position but not have the browser scroll back to the top (we are using Firefox 3.5.3 in tests) ? Here is our code. Thanks in advance!

 function openRadWindow(ESID) {
            var oWnd = radopen("ViewFaculty.aspx?ESID=" + ESID, null);
            oWnd.SetSize(600, 550);
           // tempX and tempY are the current mouse x and y positions
            oWnd.moveTo(tempX, tempY);
            return false;


        }

Hello Karl,

How exactly do you open that RadWindow? For example if you are using <a href="#" onclick="codetoopen()", this will always result in page scrolling up as the browser treats this link as an anchor. Please provide a sample code that would allow us to reproduce the problem locally.

Hi, we were doing it just like you suspected

                        ret = ret & "<a href=" & Chr(34) & "#" & Chr(34) & " javascript:openRadWindow(" & dr("EventSpeakerID") & ");>" & fn & "</a>

So how do we create a link that when clicked, opens a radwindow without that behavior? Thanks.

Hello Karl,

Try <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openFn()".

I'm doing this with a DockCommand.  The DockCommand has an OnClientCommand that calls my JavaScript, which opens the RadWindow.  I'm getting a scroll to top thing going on, too.  How can I avoid this?

[LeBear]

Ah, solved!  In another thread, I found that setting focus was the problem.  The focus fired before the page was completely loaded.  I'll fix this by registering a startup script.
