Code working in IE but not in FireFox

[athirai]

Hi all,
I want to scroll within a window.
<a href="javascript:window.location('#first');">First </a>

When i click First then it moves to the particular anchor tag within the same page.

<a name="first" id="first">This is the first section of this page</a>

This code is working fine in IE, but in firefox it is not working.
I tried window.location.href='#first'; It take this as a new request.

Actually my requirement is not a new request, it have to show the corresponding place of the existing page.

Please help to resolve this issue.

Why are you using Javascript for this function? It is not necessary. You can do this with html alone and it will not break if a user decides to visit your page in a browser with no javascript, or doesn't have javascript disabled.

In html:

[html]
<a href="#first">link to first</a>

<a name="first"></a>
[/html]

JSP is JSP at server side, it's never a JSP at clientside. what client sees is the HTML conversion of the jsp processed tags. so don't worry about the techniques used in jsp. whatever runs fine in a simple html, runs fine in jsp as well.
