    <p>I need to prevent the automatic scroll-to behavior in the browser when using link.html#idX and &lt;div id="idX"/&gt;.</p> <p>The problem I am trying to solve is where I'm trying to do a custom scroll-to functionality on page load by detecting the anchor in the url, but so far have not been able to prevent the automatic scrolling functionality (specifically in Firefox).</p> <p>Any ideas? I have tried preventDefault() on the $(window).load() handler, which did not seem to work.</p> <p>Let me reiterate this is for links that are not clicked within the page that scrolls; it is for links that scroll on page load. Think of clicking on a link from another website with an #anchor in the link. What prevents that autoscroll to the id?</p> <p>Everyone understand I'm not looking for a workaround; I need to know if (and how) it's possible to prevent autoscrolling to #anchors on page load.</p> <hr> <h2><strong>NOTE</strong></h2> <p>This isn't <em>really</em> an answer to the question, just a simple race-condition-style kluge.</p> <p>Use jQuery's scrollTo plugin to scroll back to the top of the page, then reanimate the scroll using something custom. If the browser/computer is quick enough, there's no "flash" on the page.</p> <p>I feel dirty just suggesting this...</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){ // fix the url#id scrollto "effect" (that can't be // aborted apparently in FF), by scrolling back // to the top of the page. $.scrollTo('body',0); otherAnimateStuffHappensNow(); }); </code></pre> <p>Credit goes to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/22419/wombleton">wombleton</a> for pointing it out. Thanks!</p>

    1. COI've looked into this before too, and was unable to find an answer. May I suggest downloading a jQuery plugin that does this and dissecting it's code? I'm sure I've seen one that does what you are describing.

    2. COAny suggestions on one that does this? I've been looking at the scrollTo jQuery plugin and don't see how it's hooking this particular issue - mainly because I don't think it actually does. Do you know of any specific plugins that do this?

    3. COI actually think it was on a website designer's portfolio page, but can't remember off the top of my head sorry. I will bookmark this and return if I find it though, but don't count on it, sorry.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
