* Solved* How can I get a link to scroll my page?

I have a table with some text in it. The text has links to show an external address in an inline frame which is set below the table. That works OK.

What I also need it to do is scroll the page so that the inline frame becomes visible when the link is clicked. I thought that adding a bookmark might do it, but in the link dialog box, that bookmark doesn't appear.

Anyone got any ideas how I can make this work?

Thanks

Alan

I think the question maybe is some confusing...? Try to be more specific, step by step (external and internal links), because there shall be no problems to link at an anchor with scroll...

Let me try and explain. It's eaasiest if you use this small WBS file https://www.dropbox.com/s/zot6qmcl58zgo ... t.wbs?dl=0

I have a table which takes up most of the page. In that table I have some links to an external web site (Marked as A, C and G in the example). When I click on one of those links, the external site opens up in an inline frame which I have created below the table. That works fine.

What I want is for the page to scroll at the same time so that the inline frame becomes visible. I am not sure if scroll transitions is what I am after. I don't want to animate anything - I just want the browser to scroll down under my command.

Does that make sense?

This will require a custom script.

Why not use a light box for it to pop up into instead? The forms you are loading are responsive as is the lightbox so they should show on any screen. This would also alleviate the scrolling up and down a user would need to do as your table gets longer.

Maybe the most common scroll function then "With anchors" but now you can set anchor to almost any object in the "Object properties.

That works for me.
