I'm displaying html and have divs throughout my display. I have javascript that hides or displays certain divs --- I can't get the window to scroll to the div that is just displayed. My HTML code is generated via XSLT, but below is an HTML snippet that demos the problem I'm having.
Here is a
test version of my problem - hacked together.
Display this in an HTML page.
When you click on a 'more' or 'less' link, sections expand or contract. I'd like the window to scroll to the top of the section that was just expanded or contracted - what is happening is that the window scrolls to the top of the page - despite my attempts to get scrolling to work.
Anybody help me? It's one of those that I've spent far too long trying to fix myself!
Here is the code: onKlick obviously needs to be replaced:
