How to automatically take the user to the bottom of the page?

ultim · 10 Mar 2007 at 18:57

Hi
Ive made a page which is very long in height. i want everytime the user loads the page, it takes them down to the bottom of the page automatically. i know about anchor but it requires the user to type extra info.

How can i do it so whenever the user types www.blahblah.com the page loads and take them to the bottom of the page using just html or javascript.

thanks

insert this code at the top of the page:

Code:

<b>Scroll down for pics of boobies</b>

Can't you just use a javascript redirect to www.blahblahblah.com/index.htm#bottom ?

If its for one page then use the <a name="bottom"></a> at the bottom
put the page inside a frame with the source as page.html#bottom

If its for more than one, or dynamic pages then you should be able to do an onload statment to document.href (i cant remember the code off the top of my head) to page.html#bottom

Sounds like a flawed design to me :/

Code:

function goToBottom()
{
	var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
	body.scrollTop = body.scrollHeight;
}

window.onload = goToBottom;

can't you just use an HTML label and link to your page with that label in your url, e.g.:

/pages/mypage.html#myLabel
