I get some weird behaviour with my php dynamic gallery.

It reads a folder, and presents the pictures inside it. But when I click on a picture and the popup window appears, the page returns to its topmost scrollable point. How do I keep the page to where it is?

Just a guess, but it sounds like you are using "#" as the href attribute for the a tag and then using &#106avascript to popup the larger image. Try putting "return false;" at the end of your onclick function. That way it wont actually try to find the anchor.

Sorry for the late response, yes I am using # as my href variable but my onclick function is the default one, I dunno where that boolean return is located

that's how I do it:

I'm pretty sure you need the double quotes (See my above post), otherwise how is the browser to know that the "return false;" is associated with the onClick handler?

its part of php so its like this as a whole:

print ""

and if I have it like this:

print "

then the popup window doesnt appear at all and the current page is scrolled back up

EDIT:

PS: The popup function has an onblur=self.close()

You haven't escaped your single quotes

onclick='window.open('popup.php?....');return false'                     ^              ^

Try

print "";

Then it's wrong :P

You need to print out the double quotes, otherwise it won't work - PHP won't auto-insert them for you.

ah finally it worked, thanks a bunch, before this post I had the return false in 10 different places and none worked just because I thought to have everything with '' instead of \" just for clarity... thanks again!
