Hi,

I would like to jump to an anchor on a page once an AJAX action has been  
performed (a new page of data has been returned and I would like to  
present the top of this list to the user).

Is there a way to specify an anchor in link\_to\_remote? If not, is there  
something that I can do in the RJS template?

Thanks,  
GiantCranes

I’ve found that typically you can add :html=\>{} block to edit most HTML  
related elements. in this case you can add :html =\>{:href =\>  
“#anchor\_name”} to your link\_to\_remote.

example :  
link\_to\_remote “link text”, :update =\> “element”,  
:html =\> {:href =\> “#bottom\_anchor”},  
:url =\> { :controller =\> “your\_controller”,  
:action =\> “your\_action”},  
:loading =\> “$(‘spinner’).show();”
