Why is it going to the top of the page

Here is my code

echo "<td width='$colw%' height='150px' id='tddetails' bgcolor = '$bgcolor' align='center' valign = 'top' ><a href = '#' onMouseover = getunit('$unit') onclick = 'showmenu(event,linkset[0])' onMouseout='delayhidemenu()'> $blockno $unitnumber<br></a> </td>";


When the page load all the clickable links are functioning but when I scroll down and click other links below it automatically go to the top of the page instead of showing the expected menu.. Please Help

 

Try

Replace
onMouseover = getunit('$unit')

with
onMouseover="getunit('$unit')"

no space before or after '=' as well as enquote it. I cant see your javascript, so cant say what might be problem, if above does not work.

it's the same.. here is javascript code if it will help.. What I'm thinkin is how to remain it from where I clicked it?

function showmenu(e, which, optWidth){

if (!document.all&&!document.getElementById)

return
clearhidemenu()
menuobj=ie5? document.all.popitmenu : document.getElementById("popitmenu")
menuobj.innerHTML=which
menuobj.style.width=(typeof optWidth!="undefined")? optWidth : defaultMenuWidth
menuobj.contentwidth=menuobj.offsetWidth
menuobj.contentheight=menuobj.offsetHeight
eventX=ie5? event.clientX : e.clientX
eventY=ie5? event.clientY : e.clientY
//Find out how close the mouse is to the corner of the window
var rightedge=ie5? iecompattest().clientWidth-eventX : window.innerWidth-eventX
var bottomedge=ie5? iecompattest().clientHeight-eventY : window.innerHeight-eventY
//if the horizontal distance isn't enough to accomodate the width of the context menu
if (rightedge<menuobj.contentwidth)
//move the horizontal position of the menu to the left by it's width
menuobj.style.left=ie5? iecompattest().scrollLeft+eventX-menuobj.contentwidth+"px" : window.pageXOffset+eventX-menuobj.contentwidth+"px"
else
//position the horizontal position of the menu where the mouse was clicked
menuobj.style.left=ie5? iecompattest().scrollLeft+eventX+"px" : window.pageXOffset+eventX+"px"
//same concept with the vertical position
if (bottomedge<menuobj.contentheight)
menuobj.style.top=ie5? iecompattest().scrollTop+eventY-menuobj.contentheight+"px" : window.pageYOffset+eventY-menuobj.contentheight+"px"
else
menuobj.style.top=ie5? iecompattest().scrollTop+event.clientY+"px" : window.pageYOffset+eventY+"px"
menuobj.style.visibility="visible"
return false
}

 

Oh oh I got it, replace the code you posted at first post with follwing:

Modified:
href='#' removed

onclick replaced in href property
href='javascript:showmenu(event,linkset[0])'

I hope it helps.

regards

 

Thanks Vooler I edited href but retained onclick and it's working..

I've another problem this is the array

var linkset=new Array()

//SPECIFY MENU SETS AND THEIR LINKS. FOLLOW SYNTAX LAID OUT
linkset[0]='<a href = "javascript:getlenk()" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()" >Hold</a>'

linkset[0]+='<a href ="#" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()">Terms of Payment</a>'

linkset[0]+='<a href ="#" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()">Unit Details</a>'



What I wanted to happen is when I click the link it will open to another page with content but it shows blank page.. I use target = "_blank"

 

I think the problem is, you leave extra spaces before and after propery assignment. It must be strict

Right one: href="something"
Wrong one: href = "something"

Fix them and let me know please. Secondly the page you are calling, does that have contents surely ?

regards

 

ok I'll fix it.. currently that's the code.. and it's working and page has content when load with the same page
