Saving Scroll Position in HTA files

i have a HTA application with a wide scroll bar and i want to save the position of scroll bar that user left the application ,any solution?

Solution

  • Create a file named scroll.js in the same folder as your HTA file, which will be used for stocking the scrollbar's position. Then insert following code in your HTA:

    <script type="text/javascript">
     window.onbeforeunload = function(){
          var myfile = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("scroll.js",2,true);
          myfile.WriteLine("document.body.scrollLeft = '" + document.body.scrollLeft + "';");
          myfile.WriteLine("document.body.scrollTop = '" + document.body.scrollTop + "';");
          myfile.Close();
     }
</script>

    So that when you open the HTA it puts the scrollbar like the user left it, you need to insert this code right before the </body> tag:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="scroll.js"></script>
