closing popup window moves mouse to top of page

[Jamie9470]

Hi,
I'm a beginning using Dreamweaver 8. I have a site with multiple thumbnails on
a page. Each thumb is linked to a popup window with the enlarged image using
the onclick behavior. The problem is that as I work my way down the page, as I
open a popup, then close it, the page jumps back to the top. I really want the
page location to remain at the last clicked thumbnail so the user doesn't have
to scroll down every time...Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have a link to your page or could you post some of the code?

Cool, I'm off to bed now but the following link maybe of interest...

I'm guessing that your problem is that when you click on the thumbnail you are
kicking off two actions, one that opens the popup and a second (accidental?)
that reloads the current page (hence losing your scroll position). This is just
a guess!!
The discussion in the link above expains how to stop both happening (return
false).
