    How to set focus to a div?

    Hi,

    Under Firefox, you can't scroll using the keyboard on this links page
    unless you click on the div first:



    Is there a way to automatically set focus to a div?

    Eww.

    Why - if I scroll to the right (a no-no itself) do I find an extra
    scrollbar lodged inside my own vertical scrollbar?

    Why: "Please enable JavaScript." So I can see your Google ads?

    disabled)

    <div id="somename".. . content ... </div>

    and with a link of: http://example.com/mypage.html#somename

      This is not a problem under Firefox. I don't know how to fix this
      under IE7.

      Yes, that works, thanks.

        Remove the overflow:auto; ?

        I would use the blue sun as a body background image, set to no-repeat,
        and just place that long menu in the content. Seems simple enough.

        This would also greatly reduce the scrolling lag .. to 'none'.

        Your page is not scrollable at all in Opera.

          Oh wait. The blue sun image is actual size of 1024x576 but you have
          1037x628 in your code. So every time someone scrolls, the image is
          trying to resize itself. Change either the code to the image size, or
          resize the image to what you want on the page. Exactly.

            I wanted to resize the image to the current window size. So I used a
            hack I found on the web to do that.

              Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

                Why not? One would expect a non-repeating puzzle/game background to
                scale to the window size.

                  Not really. Or maybe it's just me who finds such distorted images ugly?
                  At first it wasn't even clear to me what this blue egg was supposed to
                  be (my browser viewport is almost a square at the moment) ...
