[removed].hash issue in IE7

Question

We have a javascript function that should \"move\" a page to a certain position using anchors. This function just does window.location.href = \"#\" + hashName.

Answer 1

I justed tested this in IE7 under Vista, maybe the issue only exsists in IE7 under XP? Because this works fine for me in IE7, Chrome and Firefox:

 window.location.hash = hashName;

If this really doesn't work then we could use scrollIntoView as Kennebec suggests.

 function scrollToAnchor(anchorName){
   //set the hash so people can bookmark
   window.location.hash = anchorName;
   //scroll the anchor into view
   document.getElementsByName(anchorName)[0].scrollIntoView(true);
 }

Use like this:

 
 
 
I will be scrolled into view
