Hi,

I would like to jump to an anchor on a page once an AJAX action has been performed (a new page of data has been returned and I would like to present the top of this list to the user).

Is there a way to specify an anchor in link_to_remote? If not, is there something that I can do in the RJS template?

Thanks, GiantCranes

I've found that typically you can add :html=>{} block to edit most HTML related elements. in this case you can add :html =>{:href => "#anchor_name"} to your link_to_remote.

example : link_to_remote "link text", :update => "element",                 :html => {:href => "#bottom_anchor"},                 :url => { :controller => "your_controller",                           :action => "your_action"},                 :loading => "$('spinner').show();"
