I'm creating a website in php and I've noticed that many websites seem
to "remember where the user is on the page," so that, for example, the
user can click on a link and go to another page, but, when the user
comes back to the original page, it is displayed so that the user is
looking at the same part of the page that s/he was looking at when s/he
clicked the link. This is a mystery to me! How do you create a webpage
so that it "remembers" where the user is on the page and takes her/him
back to that same place on the page when the user returns? There must
be some "trick" to making this happen because a lot of pages do it and a
lot don't (like mine! :-( ). But I'd like to make mine do it too!!
Thanks for any light you can shed for me on this "mystery."
You are probably referring to <a name=""></a> tag placement.
If in your web page you place an anchor tag like this:
<a name="SomeName"></a>
Then in the URL you add this to the end #SomeName it will try and place that
position at the top of your viewable area in your web browser.
http://example.com/myfunpage.html#SomeName
If the page is really long this works just fine most of the time.
Hope this is what you are looking for... :)
