Functionality to scroll into view? (autoamtically scroll to contentsin the bottom right corner of a large web page)

[crazychrisy54]

Hi there

I am quite new to web technologies and wondered if there is anything
available so that when a large web page is opened (containing scroll
bars) you are automatically scrolled down and right to the contents
within the bottom right hand corner of the page.

Any ideas if this is possible and if so how would be very much
appreciated

Update: I have seen java script which will scroll down the page
gradually, but I just want to refresh the page and then automatically
focus the user to the bottom right corner without them having to wait.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Put an anchor at the bottom of the page, set the hash property on the
location. Or, just link directly to the hash.

Thanks for your advice too David
As the application needs to work across serveral browsers I am going
to try Randy's simple idea first but might well then look into
options.
Cheers

Randy's suggestion should work fine if you control the content of the
page. However, if you need it to scroll exactly to the bottom (to the
pixel), you will probably need to measure and call the scrollTo
method.

Also, you should link directly to the hash. Setting the hash on load
has been known to cause issues with Safari.

Actually, scratch that. As the browser will always try to put the
link at the very top, the hash link trick will work. Scrolling all
the way to the right might be an issue though.

Cheers for all your help, using the anchor seemed to work fine. As I
print a new png image to the page each time it is refreshed, I also
know the width it is going to be so can simply print <p style="margin-
left: Image_Widthpx" id="end"/below the image and use file.php#end
