onclick question

Hello

We have a page that loads a long list of things. Each row has an onclick
where you can open a window for more information. When you do that the parent
page refreshes to the top of the page....so if you were near the bottom, you
would have to scroll back down to get back to where you were. I would like
the parent page to hold its position when the child opens. Any suggestions?

Thank You

You would need to show us an example of the html and Javascript you are
using to achieve this.

It is not a asp = serverside, but a clientside issue, off topic.

Yes. Stop using <a href="#" onclick="...">. There is no need to use anchor
tags when a change of page is not desired. The [onclick] attribute applies
to virtually every element, not to mention the [cursor] CSS rule:

here is the line of code

<td align="center"> <a href="#"
onclick="window .open('ncdr.asp ?view=ncdr&id=< %=rsncdr("id")% >','NCDR','tool bar=0,location= 0,directories=0 ,status=0,menub ar=1,scrollbars =1,resizable=0, copyhistory=0,w idth=740,height =500')"><img
src="../images/view.gif" border="0" alt="View NCDR#
<%=branchloc% >-<%=rsncdr("ncdr num")%>"></td>

If the onclick is the issue, what would be the best way to achive the same
result

Thank You

Onclick is not the issue. <ais the issue. Don't use it if it is not
appropriate to do so:

<td onclick="window .open(...)">

Take a look at what I suggested once again:

Thank You...I see what you mean now.....is there a way to replicate the
"finger cursor" that comes up when an anchor is used...looked into
onMouseover but this seems to change the text that the mouse is moving over,
not the curser itself. Appreciate the help

Again, my original response contains the answer. You can use styles inline
or through a CSS rule. Here is inline:

<td stlye="cursor:p ointer" onclick="...">

My pleasure. It is no surprise to me that you were using <a href="#" ...>,
since there are SO MANY examples out there that use it. This is partly
because there were few alternatives many years ago, and that "trick" worked
for most browsers.

But Microsoft has applied onclick to most elements since version IE4, and
virtually everyone else has done so for the last 5 years, so it is no longer
necessary. Nevertheless, I estimate it will take at least more 5 years for
the practice to fade from documentation and use.

I am writing a control and want to handle an OnClick event on the client-side before then conforming to the postback mechanism. I have got the server-side events working for my OnClick event by adding to the rendered element's OnClick handler using GetPostBackEventReference. How can I provide a client-side onclick handler and then to use the aspnet form submit method such that I can also subscribe to the server-side events too?
