Question

I have a PHP page that loads external content using other PHP files. I’m using include so it should be pretty simple. I had a scrollTo function (below) that I removed. However, ever since I did that when I reload the main page I can see in the URL that it is scrolling to every hash mark really quick, ending in the last section.

I really don’t know what script may be causing that. I used Chrome Elements but I don’t see anything.

I’ve been trying to figure this out for the past two hours so I really need another set of eyes to help me figure out where is this coming from. So please just take a quick look.

Here is the live test page that’s going crazy now.

Test page

Here is the JS code I had originally, and then removed

$().ready(function(){

    var currentAnchor1 = null;
    //Check if it has changes
    if(currentAnchor1 != document.location.hash){
        currentAnchor1 = document.location.hash;
        //if there is not anchor, the loads the default section
        if(!currentAnchor1){
            query1 = "page=1";
        }
        else
        {
            //Creates the  string callback. This converts the url URL/#main&id=2 in URL/?section=main&id=2
            var splits1 = currentAnchor1.substring(1).split('&');
            //Get the section
            var page1 = splits1[0];
            delete splits1[0];
            var query1 = "page=" + page1;       
        }

        //Send the petition 
        $.scrollTo( document.location.hash, 500, { easing:'elasout' });
    }
});

This is coming from your PHP page. 4100.php is outputting inline JavaScript.

You can’t use <!-- for block comments in JavaScript so your window.location calls are indeed still happening. (For multiline comments in JavaScript, surround the lines with /* and */ instead.)
