[CLOSED] Opening HTML Pages at the top of the page

I have 14 frames on an HTML composer page. Each frame launches a graphic. My problem is that the HTML composer page opens in the middle of the page, not at the top. How do I get the page to open at the top?

Hi Ron,

Windows ( or internet-explorer, choose your culprit ) opens new windows at the location ( and size ) where the user last left it.

You see this behaviour on any website that spawns new browser-windows.

The user can 'store' this size and location by hold shift while closing the window ( click on the [x] )

There is no build in solution in WebFocus to customize it.

I know it possible to set the width and height ( and even location ) in Jscript.
Technically it should be possible to hack WF's .js routines and add you custom size and location.

But I don't know which .js to 'attack'.

In sort.
Not available in WF, but it should be possible.

The HTML Composer page will scroll to the object whose tab index is first in the tab order. So you need to make sure your tab index values for the objects at the top of the page are first in the tab order.

Greetings David,

Thanks for taking the time to help me out, but I tried both of these suggestions early on. Unfortunately, this HTML page continues to open in the middle. Any other suggestions?

Ron,

I guess I misunderstood the question.

The browser will scroll to anytihng with the lowest tab-index ( like David said ).

But only if this tab-index will result in a cursor ( like in an input box ).

This code should work:

<script language="jscript">
scroll(0,0);
</script>

<body onload="scroll(0,0);">

****unchecked code, might need some tweaking.

G'luck, Dave
