onload and move to a point down the page

Christine Forber

I am looking for a way to open a given html page where I want, and not
at the top of the page.

This is for an intranet, not the www. I use a core application which
takes templates containing FoxPro function calls and creates html pages
which are then sent to the browser. As a result, I am unable to modify
the url to simply attach the target id to the url to enable the browser
to open the page at the point I want.

So, is there something that I can put in the onload attribute of the
<body> tag which would direct the browser down to the point I want (ie
by id value of a div)? In other words, do the equivalent of
"www.someurl.com/page.html#someid"?

Thank you.

document.getElementById("someid").scrollIntoView)

// will work in MSIE 5+ and Mozilla-based browsers. Not in Opera.
