Page Positioning after a search

J

JCO

I'm not sure how to ask this question but I will give it a try. My web page
has a search component 3/4 (or more) down the page located with in a Table.
When you conduct a search, by default, the page ends up scrolled to the top.
The results, from the search, is below the seach component (inside of the
table).

How can I get the web page to restore to the same position (scroll level)
after the search is done?

You can't, as there is no setting to change this. The search component is really design to be on it
own page.

However, that will cause the page to always jump to that location any time you access the page. The
search component really should be on it own page.

And how would JCO do that?

You'll have to take my word for it Thomas. I just don't have the time to prove you wrong.

Mike,

I am not saying that you are wrong, however you did not provide any info on how JCO or anyone else
would accomplish your proposed solution.

All you provided was the following:

<body onload=....>

and

"it can be set up to work on the return only"

Now based on that those two statements, I do not see a solution!

Mybe another solution could be this....

Is there anyway to have a search component at the bottom of a home page but
have the search results display on a separate page (of its own).

Not when using the FP Search Component.
