Rails - Oct 2009 - want to jump/scroll to a certain row in a table

Hi

This might be more of an HTML question but it could be because of an
interaction with Rails that the solution I use right now is not
working.

I have tried several ways to jump/scroll to a certain row in a large
table, I tried an event like <div id="event#666"> and use
http://website#section#666
I inserted the div with the even before the <tr> and after it, both
did not work

I have also tried to use <a name="event#666"> (found this also
on the
web somewhere) but it also did not work.

Is there another solution that is more rails friendly? What am I
messing up?

You''re just using the wrong syntax.  Use id="event666" and
link to it
like http://some/url#event666

I believe div is not valid round a row (or cell for that matter), it
can only encompass the whole table or be within a cell. Paste your
html into the w3c htlm validator to check.  Different browsers behave
inconsistently with this sort of html error, it may appear to work
with some.

Right. This won''t work, both because jumping to an ID doesn''t
work and
because a div can''t surround a TR.

This is the correct tag -- but you can''t put a # into the name.  What 
you want is <a name="some_name"></a>.   Then to refer to
it, use the
http://url/of/the/page#some_name .

You''re messing up basic HTML syntax, nothing to do with Rails directly.

Thank you! That with:
<% if @section>0 %>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <!--
document.location.hash="id<%= @rowid %>";
// -->
</script>
<% end %>

at the *start* of the file was all that was needed!
