page reload

[seno]

Is it possible (using php) to have a page reload and go back to the position it was prior to reload.

I have a long page and it is annoying that i have to scroll down after every reload-🙁

you can insert anchors like <a name="position"> and then in your reload just call script.php#position, thats about the only way possible unless you use some javascript trick.

i have a javascript that i stumbled across, but i am struggling with how to incorporate <? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?> into the javascript link.

Javascript:
function refreshSameLoc() {
// get X
var X =
(window.pageXOffset?window.pageXOffset:window.document.body.scrollLeft);
var Y =
(window.pageYOffset?window.pageYOffset:window.document.body.scrollTop);

// it depends how you're refreshing, but let's assume you're reloading.
window.location.href = window.location.href+"?x="+X+"&y="+Y;
}

function scrollOnLoad() {
var s = window.location.search;
var idx1 = s.indexOf("?x=");
if(idx1 != -1) {
var idx2 = s.indexOf("&y=",idx1);
var X = parseInt(s.substring(idx1+3,idx2));
var Y = parseInt(s.substring(idx2+3));
window.scrollTo(X,Y);
}
}

... BODY onload="scrollOnLoad()" ...

... onclick="refreshSameLoc()" ...

any suggestions??
