General offset for all anchors in HTML?

Question

I have some anchor elements, but they are in absolute position div and the content of the div is so large that it scrolls inside (overflow:auto).

All entries in the div have an anchor on top, but if I go to this anchor I have the element I wanted to directly on top of the side, but I want it in the center. I need something like an offset so I can jump higher than normal.

Answer 1

You could try a Javascript scroll to correct the position.

Answer 2

you could always add another div to wrap around it, and then do something like

.wrapperdiv{
   position:relative;
   top:-10px;
}

Answer 3

I had another problem. My anchor was an id of an item and the item id was an id of a text input too so the anchor jumped to the input instead of my suggestion. It would jump to the a element with the name=itemid.
