JS to open link + jump to page #anchor

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 09.2013

I am doing an IDX portal (idx=real estate home search page).

I am using a few different platforms that communicate with iframes, its a little murky, but its stable.

When I click a link on my parent page, I want it to jump to a page anchor just above the iframe as it loads the href content. I’m not the best at JS, but here is my solution, and its not working. Help?

my function-

[CODE]<script type=”text/javascript”>
function headAnchor()
{
window.location.hash=”head”;
}
</script>[/CODE]

page anchor-

[CODE]<a name=”#head”>[/CODE]

link-

[code]<a href=”http://my.dom/mylink.php” target=”iframe” onclick=”headAnchor()”>[/code]

What am i missing?

@KGDeemauthorMay 09.2013 — Oh, it works in IE (but only with compatibility view turned on). but not firefox or chrome. Whats the FF/C fix?

@PadonakMay 09.2013 — <a name="head"></a> w/o '[B]#[/B]' ----> this is the point where the page will be scrolled to

<a href="#head">head</a> -----> this is clicked to scroll the page to the anchor described above

in XHTML or HTML5 use [B]id[/B] attribute instead of [B]name[/B]

Success!
