[Qt-interest] Scroll to anchor in QWebView?

[Eric Clark]

Andre,

This would probably work; however, the URL that is being viewed is a custom URL that does not actually refer to a file. The URL tells me how to load the html and, if it is has an anchor, I need to scroll to that anchor in the document. The problem is, if I set the URL in the QWebView to my URL, the QWebView just shows a blank page. I could respond to the URL changing in the QWebView, which I do to set the html, but the view has already done what it can with the URL; therefore, it does not scroll to the anchor. The URLs work fine for me until I need to go to an anchor in the page. I do not see any functions to do this. I could obviously find the anchor via the QWebElement interface, but how can I scroll to that particular element in the page? I do not see any functions to do so. I thought about getting the bounding box of the web element and using that position to scroll to it, but my guess is that a <a name="somename"> tag has no geometry because it is not visible to the user. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Just a guess...
Does it work to just change the URL to include the anchor?

Hello All,

I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to force a QWebView to scroll to an anchor in the web page that it is currently showing?

Thanks,
Eric
