Bug #67050 [Asn]: Anchor goes under the heading navbar

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67050&edit=1 ID: 67050 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: adrien dot dupuis at gmail dot com Summary: Anchor goes under the heading navbar Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: levim Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: @teo8976, please read <https://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php>. Thanks! For what it is worth, the most simple solution regarding jumping to anchors on pages with a fixed menu at the top of the page, is to set an appropriate margin-bottom for the *html* element. However, that does not work well for jQuery[1] (I've never mentioned any issue regarding vanilla JS, though).

Yes, we have problems, and yes, we've had them for a long time. Open a pull request that fixes it without breaking other things or just leave it alone and someone else, eventually, will fix it. You are right; I was going directly to the link. However, I am still confident that it has worked and been broken in the past; the solution is probably not far off from what's there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-28 18:14:37] teo8976 at gmail dot com This seems to be the code that is supposed to do the job: //////////////////////////////// document.body.addEventListener("click", function (e) { if (e.target && e.target.nodeName === "A") { var href = e.target.getAttribute("href"); if (href && href[0] === "#") { var id = href.slice(1); var target = document.getElementById(id); // temporarily remove the id="" attribute so that the UA's // default scrolling is prevented target.id = ""; if (target) { PHP_NET.scrollElementIntoView(target, null, function () { // restore the id="" attribute target.id = id; }); } } } }); //////////////////////////////// This would work if the links were like <a href="#something">, but instead, they are like <a href="relative.path.of.current.page#something"> so, the javascript code does nothing at all in this case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-28 18:03:19] teo8976 at gmail dot com > There is a JavaScript solution in-place and it works for me in Chrome on Windows When you say it works for you, are you testing by going directly to a deep-link url like http://www.php.net/manual/fr/class.domdocument.php#domdocument.props.actualencoding (that does NOT reproduce the issue), or are you following the original report instructions, which are: 1 - first go to a page without the #segment part, e.g. http://be2.php.net/manual/fr/class.domdocument.php 2 - then click on a link that points to a #something anchor within the same page, e.g. the link to "$actualEncoding"? Note that, in order to properly test for the issue, you need to make sure that the link is actually internal to the same page, with only the #segment part being different (I notice that sometimes, depending on language and stuff, the links might actually point to a copy of the same page on a different domain). > what browser are you using? Chrome on Linux > Or are you disabling/blocking JavaScript? LOL no, of course not. (btw if this has to be handled by javascript one should seriously question whether something is very badly designed at a deeper level - not saying that I'd expect any webpage to work with javascript disabled these days, but it just shouldn't be necessary to use javascript for this kind of things. Anyway that's another story). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-28 17:40:38] levim@php.net > If you are not going to fix it, it should be assigned to someone else. Who? By the way this issue has been fixed and then broken numerous times. There is a JavaScript solution in-place and it works for me in Chrome on Windows - what browser are you using? Or are you disabling/blocking JavaScript? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-28 17:05:21] teo8976 at gmail dot com > do you think I get paid for this or something? Given the way you ask, I guess not, and I don't care. If you are not going to fix it, it should be assigned to someone else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
