Solve : HTML automatic scrolling?

1.	Solve : HTML automatic scrolling?
Answer» I have an HTML website, but some of the pages are built on a free web hosting SERVICE - Tripod - so that each page has about 2 inches of hideous ads at the top. Is there any code that can have the page automatically scroll down a couple inches every time that page is OPENED - something not involving an anchor but which just automatically would scroll past the ads?Not that I know of (of course, I'm not an HTML expert). You could switch to a free server WITHOUT adds like 110mb.I don't think you can do that. Besides, you really shouldn't be doing it. Ads are to be expected with free hosting. After all, how else can you expect it to be free? If you really want to get away from this, spend $4/mo for a hosting service. I don't know what the catch is with 100mb that CompGuy17 mentioned, but I'd bet there's some catch. Again, think about it. No hosting service can operate without incurring operating costs. So, how can they really offer ad-less, free hosting? This is just basic Economics 101. There's got to be some FINANCIAL incentive to operate a hosting service. Without fees or ads, where's the revenue coming from?Quote from: soybean on June 03, 2007, 04:41:32 PM I don't think you can do that. Besides, you really shouldn't be doing it.

As CompGuy17 said, I do use 110mb, and there are no catches. They are supported/owned/run by 2 companies, and also cover costs with donations.

There are other methods, of course, but if Tripod finds out about you hiding ads, they will remove your site.You can use the javascript funtion "window.scroll" to scroll down. check out dynamic drive for an example. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/topscroll.htm Quote from: Calum on June 04, 2007, 02:40:07 AM As CompGuy17 said, I do use 110mb, and there are no catches.

I can't find it.You could also put a redirect script in the code. Have it redirect to "index.html#go_down" after 1 second. But you'll probably get your site shut down. So don't do it. Do the smart thing and get a real site. Their not expensive and you're not limited by ads.Quote from: soybean on June 04, 2007, 08:03:55 PM Quote from: Calum on June 04, 2007, 02:40:07 AM As CompGuy17 said, I do use 110mb, and there are no catches.
