Question

I’m experiencing this weird problem which my scrollbar jumps by itself to somewhere that I don’t want it to.

I have a table with scrollbar inside this page, if the user have a smaller screen, the page automatically adds a scrollbar. If I scroll down to the bottom of the table and click on it, the scrollbar of the page jumps up so I can no longer see the thing I clicked. Any ideas?

Thanks.

There are a number of things that can be causing this.

• You clicked on a hyperlink with a href of ‘#’, which will cause most browsers to scroll to the top of the page,
• There’s possibly a CSS :focus or :active rule somewhere being triggered that causes the height of the page to change
• There’s a javascript onclick event firing and changing the page
• …or possibly something else entirely.

Have you tried in different browsers? It could be a bug in the browser itself.
