Window jumps to top of page when clicking download button

[daranzolin]

I have a long Quarto report with several downloadthis buttons. The buttons work great, but the window jumps to the top of the page after clicking, annoying some of my users. Is there someway to adjust the href argument here to prevent this behavior?

Hi @daranzolin, could you provide me a quick reprex that I can reproduce this behavior?

Sure, see the source code below. I've observed this behavior in both Firefox and Chrome. Clicking the download button jumps to the top of the page.

```{r}
library(downloadthis)

mtcars %>%
  download_this(
    output_name = "mtcars data set",
    output_extension = ".csv",
    button_label = "Download data",
    button_type = "warning",
    has_icon = TRUE,
    icon = "fa fa-save"
  )

Update: this Stackoverflow solution works for single pages, but not when the output includes tabs.

Edit: this solution does work for me, I just had to loop through each button and update the href in button.html.

+1 to this. Is there an update to this issue?
