Save page position when going bavk to it ???

Like you scroll down a page and then go back and then back to it the
saving it in the position you left it rather than haveing to scroll to
go back where you had it.

IS that possible ???

Thanks,.

 

What are you doing here? I thought you were switching back to ie, you
even said bye to us!

EVERYTHING HAS A GENDER

You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender...

Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see
right through them.

 

Let me see if I can puzzle out what you're doing since your post is a
tad incomprehensible.

1. go to a page
2. scroll down the page (you are just scrolling, right? not clicking
an internal link I hope)
3. go back (go back where? how? scrolling? using the Back button?)
4. "then back to it ..." - huh? you already went "back"! now where
the heck are you?
5. "saving it in the position ..." - huh? saving it how? as a
bookmark? as a file?)

As I said before, I never repeat myself.

 

I cannot tell which program you are thinking of,
but let us take this for a test drive in Firefox.

1. I go to http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7216/links.html
2. I scroll down the page to the section titled "Transport to Tracks"
3. I click on the link "Nelson Lakes Shuttles"
This takes me to http://www.nelsonlakesshuttles.co.nz/
4. I click the back button
This takes me back to the page I was on, and at the
same position where I left it. I do not have to scroll down
again to find the position I left.

 

How can you take that Statement suriously

Got an answer for the question thought ?

 

The position of the scrllbar of the last page i'am talking about.
Everytime if you go back to the page you just been to it gos back the
top.

Just wondering if their is anyway to rember the scroll bar position so
it gos back to the azact place on the page you were.

IS that more understandable

Thanks.

 

its a known problem

EVERYTHING HAS A GENDER

You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender...

A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.

 

So it was once that way iwant it and it broke.

 

Firefox remembers the page position at most sites I return to, but not
at some sites.

Does it do that at every site you return to?

 

In the test drive above, the last page is
http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7216/links.html
is it not?

And you mean the position of the scrollbar on the page
http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7216/links.html
do you not?

Every time I go back to the page
http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7216/links.html
which I have just been on, the scrollbar does _NOT_ go back to the top.

Go test it.

It does go back to the exact place on the
page http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7216/links.html
where I was.

Either you have not taken the above test case for a test drive,
or you have not explained yourself clearly.

So answer these two questions
1. In my test case above, which page do you think is the last page?
2. Have you actually tried this test case?

 

This happens to me. The page you return to will start at the top,
but in a couple of seconds, after it has reloaded, it pops down to
where you were when you left the page.

Apparently this is site-dependant -- many sites work just fine in
this manner, and some don't. When I've asked a given site about
this, they always say this works OK with Internet Explorer, and ask
what browser I'm using.

When I tell them Firefox is the one, some of them reply saying
they'll look into it.

=================================

 

Never gos back to whereit was no matter hat website i vist

 

I would say great. Now i can continue whereei left off

Out of interest, what site are you talking about in
particular? If it's got about 50 screens plus worth of
information on it then the designer should have split it up
into smaller chunks anyway ....

 

I have the exact same problem but what I do is if im in the middle of a
page and I want stay there I click the link with my middle button and
that opens a new tab, instead of opening in the same tab and when im
done reading the new tab I just close it and im back to the last tab on
focus.

Just get urself tab mix plus and have this option enabled in tab mix plus

events> tab closing>when closing current tab , focus > last selected,

If u dont have a middle button then simply create a mouse gesture with
tab mix plus that opens a new tab when example u press ctrl>left click.


Not a fix but a way around this annoying problem, hope that helgs
