focus on highlighted status #169

Open FND opened 9 years ago

within lengthy conversations, individual statuses might disappear beneath the fold - e.g. if .../updates/3148 has numerous preceding messages within the same thread, only the thread's top messages are visible on page load

given the resource design and content layout constraints, I can't think of a decent solution though (I'd rather avoid a JavaScript hack)

What about using the good old named anchor to "scroll" to the highlighted status?

FND commented 9 years ago

good point, I forgot to articulate my assumption there: I reckon it'd be weird if a status's canonical URI included a redundant anchor (.../updates/3148#3148)

aheusingfeld commented 9 years ago

well, I actually thought of something like <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=#current"/> and adding the id="current" instead of class="current"

yeah, I'm not sure we wanna go there - do we?
