Hi there,

Is this even possible to do something like this in an RJS template?

page.redirect\_to url\_for(:action =\> ‘index’, :controller =\> ‘posts’)  
page \<\< “new Effect.ScrollTo(‘scroll\_to\_specified\_id’);”

The redirect\_to works, but the ScrollTo doesn’t get executed.

Any ideas or workarounds?

Thanks,  
Dave
