This is my first post, so be gentle.

This:

Code:

<body onload="window.scrollTo(x,y)">

Works fine.

This:

Code:

window.onload = function() { window.scrollTo(x,y) }

Doesn't work at all.

Why?

Welcome to TSDN.
What is x and y in the first expression.
[code=html]
<form onload = "window.scrollT o(x,y)">

[/code]

You got my point?

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.

Welcome to TSDN.
Thanks for the warm welcome.

What is x and y in the first expression.
0,50

You got my point?
Actually... No. :)

Well, it's not important any more. It works now, I do not know why, the code is exactly the same. This. Is. Soooo. Annoying.

This is related to a more advanced XhttpRequest situation, I thought I had isolated the problem to this (window.onload Vs. body onload) but it's seems that I was to hasty in my judgement.

I need to do some further testing to see where the problem is located...

Anyhow, thanks for your input.

There's nothing in place to do that yet (and may never be because of possible problems).

That's OK, most of my problems are weird, thanks for trying.

I'm almost afraid to ask... But "possible problems"?.

Well, you're good enough to say that your problem is resolved and want to mark it as such. Most don't. In fact, they might just disappear. That would then be up to the moderator to decide whether a question is resolved or not which is subjective. In this way, we could have a lot of unresolved questions. It also means more work for the mods.

I think I have isolated the problem now...

It seems to be a CSS issue (when CSS is removed it works as should).

Looking into to it...

The solution is that there isn't any problem with the window.onload function.

(Ops, I accidentally pushed the report button when I wanted to press reply, I hope that I didn't cause any problems (I quickly stopped the submit process))

I see... There is however a certain satisfaction in being able to put a "you won't be hunting me in my restless dreams now-stamp" on your question.

I suppose I just got domesticated in forums using such a function...

Btw, suggestion for your forum: move the report button away from the reply button. Besides for the problem of mistakenly pushing it (I wonder who would do such a stupid mistake, anyway) it kind of feels a little bit tempting...

No, as long as you didn't submit, it's fine.

I guess there is! There's pros and cons to this; you never know, it may well be added in the future.

Yes, this has already been suggested and I agree. Add any more suggestions and comments in the Feedback forum.

Got you.

Anyway, like I said: I found what the problem was and have started a new thread.

The solution to this thread was that here simply wasn't anything wrong with window.onload scrollTo.

Heya, NoName.

Did you mean document.unload ?

My guess is that window.unload() doesn't fire until the current document has been unloaded, which would mean that there's nothing to scroll to.
