WU-radar-inc - Map Zoom jumping around

[W3DRM]

I think I've seen a reference to this issue somewhere in this forum but couldn't find it after a search. Pardon me if this has been brought up previously...

When I bring up the Local Radar screen, the radar map comes up fine but when I switch to one of the other zoom levels, using either the +, -, or the individual zoom arrows, the resulting screen image jumps up or down in all of my test browsers, except for Google Chrome. I test with IE, Opera, Pale Moon, Mozilla and Google Chrome and am running the current version of all of these browsers.

This has been happening for quite a while now but I've never mentioned since I wasn't running the latest version of Ken's scripts until now. Now that I am at current code levels, I don't think this issue is version related.

Hi Don,

If by "jumping around" you mean how the page scrolls up when you click one of the links for magnified local radar, it's due to a 'feature' I'd added in quite a while ago.  The URL in the browser has a '#WUtop' appended to it, so the browser will scroll to where it finds the <a name="WUtop" id="WUtop"></a> link, which happens to be placed just before the top of the display of the map.  It was intended to keep the map visible (at the top of the browser) when folks clicked on different maps.

If you find it more annoying than helpful, a change of WU-radar-inc.php from

Code:

</script>
<a name="WUtop" id="WUtop"></a>

to

Code:

</script>
<!-- a name="WUtop" id="WUtop"></a -->

will stop the jumping around.

Best regards,
Ken

Yes, that is exactly what I am seeing. It wouldn't be so bad if it remained at the same vertical position with each zoom level but it doesn't and moves up and down depending on which zoom level you select as well as being dependent on which browser one is using.

I'll try the change and see what happens.

Thanks for the quick reply (as always)...

Made the change suggested - works exactly as I wanted it to. No more up and down on the screen and, I can still see the full radar image. Can't ask for anything more than that!

Thanks again,
