jump to an anchor/bookmark

[Rob]

Hello all,

I have an anchor in my page like <a name-"phase_two"/>.
When I load my page I call the function body_onload in the onload event of
the body tag. Then I like to jump to this anchor/bookmark based on the value
of an variable.

pseudecode example:

function body_onload(){
if (phase==2){
jump_to_anchor("phase_two");
}

if (phase==3){
jump_to_anchor("phase_three");
}
}

Can this be done and if yes how?

Thanks in advance
Rob

Check the location.hash property:
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/hash.asp>

window.onload=function(evt){
var hashValue="#foo";
if(location.hash!=hashValue)
location.hash=hashValue;
}

Yep.
