want to jump/scroll to a certain row in a table

Hi

This might be more of an HTML question but it could be because of an interaction with Rails that the solution I use right now is not working.

I have tried several ways to jump/scroll to a certain row in a large table, I tried an event like <div id="event#666"> and use http://website#section\#666 I inserted the div with the even before the <tr> and after it, both did not work

I have also tried to use <a name="event#666"> (found this also on the web somewhere) but it also did not work.

Is there another solution that is more rails friendly? What am I messing up?

You're just using the wrong syntax. Use id="event666" and link to it like http://some/url#event666

I believe div is not valid round a row (or cell for that matter), it can only encompass the whole table or be within a cell. Paste your html into the w3c htlm validator to check. Different browsers behave inconsistently with this sort of html error, it may appear to work with some.

I've started using this recently:

Thank you! That with: <% if @section>0 %> <script type="text/javascript"> // <!-- document.location.hash="id<%= @rowid %>"; // --> </script> <% end %>

at the *start* of the file was all that was needed!
