New Browser window – scrollTo doesn’t work

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 22.2006

Hello. I have a problem and was hoping someone could help me. Here is the situation:

I have an image map. When a certain area of the map is clicked on, a new broswer window opens to a particular location within that page using scrollTo. Using the code pasted below this works fine locally on my machine but as soon as I upload it online the scrollTo function stops working and the new browser window instead opens to the default top left.

Any ideas to what I’m doing wrong?

[COLOR=Blue]<map name=”Map” id=”Map”>

<area shape=”rect” coords=”9,5,106,125″ href=”” target=”blank” onclick=”var newWin=window.open(‘subareas/grid_1.html’,’maps’,’status=no,scrollbars=yes,scrollbars.visible=true,resizable=yes,menu=no,width=475,height=550′);[B]newWin.scrollBy(100,50)[/B];newWin.focus();return false;”>

</map>[/COLOR]

@phpnoviceJun 23.2006 — What is the error message? ...and don't say there isn't one. ? Find it.

@phpnoviceJun 23.2006 — Which browser?

@Pano_SkrivanosauthorJun 23.2006 — I've tried both Explorer and Firefox.

If it helps here is the link to the page: http://marinematters.org/atlas/subareas_draft.html.

Scroll down to the map, if the first or second boxed area on the map is selected (the remaining boxes aren't linked yet), a second smaller browser window is opened. If the scrollTo was working, it would open to the corresponding location as represented by the box on the first map but it doesn't. Strange that it initially worked locally on my machine.

By the way I appreciate your help.

@phpnoviceJun 23.2006 — The problem is that you have to wait to perform that programmatic scrolling until *after* the page has loaded complete. When you were doing it locally, the page would load almost instantaneously. Over the Internet, it is not so fast. ?

But being a true novice (unlike yourself), can you offer any suggestions as to how I may fix this?
