How do you set the starting section of my website in Grails/HTML

Question

I know you can create a link that will direct you to a section in your website like this

<a href="#result"></a>

But is it possible to set up your website that once it loads up, it automatically goes to the "#result" section? Thank you in advance!

You have to set the application root context to anchor to #result. How is this anyway related to Groovy? — dmahapatro, Jul 26 '13 at 01:02

Yes, you can do it with a bit of JavaScript. Put this in the bottom of your page:

<script>
function jumpTo(anchor){
    window.location.hash = '#' + anchor;
}
jumpTo('result');
</script>

If you have jQuery, you can also make it scroll -- it can make for better usability, cause the user then knows that he is viewing a part of a bigger page:

<script>
function jumpTo(anchor){
    var offset = $('a[name="' + anchor + '"]').offset().top;
    $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: offset}, 'fast');
}
jumpTo('result');
</script>
