I'm not sure I get your problem exactly, but whether you are on the web
page inside the iframe or on the parent web page that contains the
iframe you can force your self to a certain position on a web page by
using HTML anchor tags.

You put the (hidden) anchor tag at the top of your main menu:
<a name="menutop"></a>

And the link to the main menu top anchor is like so:
<a href="#menutop">Return to main menu</a>

A link to an anchor tag will force the web page to scroll up to it. This
is a potential solution.

Additionally, I believe you can even do URL hrefs like this, that will
go to webpage.htm and move to the posiiton of anchor menutop:
http://www.exanmple.com/webpage.htm#menutop

But, my raw HTML gets a bit foggy nowadays.

Subject: Re: [nycphp-talk] iframe Top of page?


Hi,

Does anyone know how to force an iframe to handle varying page lengths  
such that it starts back at the top of the page each time?  I have a  
menu.php called from an iframe in index.php.  This menu calls  
balances.php, workdues.php, etc which have varying page lengths  
depending on the data displayed.  Upon pressing 'Return to main menu'  
I am left to scroll back up - as the menu is a much shorter page than  
all others.  How do you handle this?

Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated.  Thanks.
