Hi, I'm new to javascript, but got some java knowledge. Can anyone tell me how I can set the horizontal scrollbar of a page in the center of the page on load? I've written something that works, but doesn't do ther job.

Thanks in avdance,
max

function scroll() {
var a = window.document.body.clientWidth;
a /= 2;
window.scrollTo(a, 0)
}

</SCRIPT>
<BODY ONLOAD="scroll()">

You could place an anchor in the middle (horizontally) of the page and then redirect to page#anchor onload:

window.location += "#anchor";

I tried it, but it didn't work, since the anchor doesn't direct the position of the horizontal toolbar to the middle, not even if I center my anchor; it only makes the anchor visible.

Thanks anyway.

Anyone more suggestions?
