href="#" & edit_categories.tmpl

By Arvind Satyanarayan on | Filed under Hacks | Comments (2)

One major annoyance with the categories screen, when you click one of the links to create a top level or subcategory, you are thrown to the top of the page and need to scroll down to enter in the category label. A quick fix.

Open up tmpl/cms/edit_categories.tmpl. Replace all instances of a href="#" with a href="javascript:void(0)"

Essentially, the difference between a href="#" and a href="javascript:void(0)" is that a href="#" throws you to the top of the page and you have to scroll down, a href="javascript:void(0)" doesn't!

I was just adding tons of categories this morning and was very frusterated to be having to scroll down everytime. Every hack I've found and implemented from your site has been for things I've really thought didn't work well in Movable Type. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Thank you.
