Question

Help me avoid weird automatic scrolling in IE

Answer 1

A:

It seems the browser reset the scrollbar to the position where the last object where mouseover'ed. When you place the mouse over one item and then scroll down, the item currently under the mouse arrow does not get applied the style for this item, but as soon as the mouse is moved 1 pixel in any direction, the scrollbar is reset so the mouse is placed again over the element highlighted before scrolling down. Anyone knows a way to bypass this stupid behavior?

Answer 2

+1 A:

Have you tried this?

<body style="height:1000px;" ...

While you didn't post the version of IE which was showing the problem, on my machine (IE8) giving the <BODY> a tall height clears up the scroll-back-to-top problem that happens when you scroll (with the keyboard) while the popup menus are displayed.

Yes, and don't make any effect. You can see right now applied.

hi Rodrigo - with the 1000px applied, I'm not able to repro a problem anymore. I'm trying to repro it as follows, let me know if this is the right sequence of steps: #2: resize IE8 to 1060px wide by 560 px high; #2: load your URL; #3: position the mouse over "Clase C" (don't click anything) and then mouse over the first submenu item in that section; #4: with down arrow on the keyboard, scroll down until the mouse is no longer over "clase C". What I see at this point is that the "Clase C" section collapses (as expected) but I don't see scrollbar reset to top of page. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, with your help I was able to workaround this. Thank you!

Cool! Glad to be helpful.

Answer 3

A:

Try adding return false; to your onmouseover snippets, as follows:

<a onmouseover="MM_swapImage('cambio','', 
    '/publicador/site/artic/20090513/imag/FOTO_0520090513175050.jpg',
    '1'); return false;"></a>

(Other attributes and content were removed for brevity.)
