help with a button inside an href that calls a function

[Victor]

myfunction(x)
{
.......
<a name="SEARCH">
----do something
</a>
}

<a href="#SEARCH"><input type="button" name="search_button" onClick="myfunction(x)" value="Search"> </a>

Once the button is pressed, the function will display some info on the screen. There is already sth on the browser window, so I need the to focus on the new info that the function "myfunction" will display.

Why did you put button inside the <a> </a> tags?
The button is already clickable.

<input type="button" name="search_button" onClick="myfunction(x)" value="Search">

But still, I don't know what you want to do.

on the program, on the windows browser there is a form.After pressing the button some search results will appear on the screen, at the end of the form. But the form covers the whole screen, so I want that after the button is pressed, the browser window goes down, so it will show the search results, not the form, without having to use the scrollbar.

so basically you have this


Form
Form
Form
Form
Form
Form
Form
Results
Results
Results
Results
Results


The Results are off of the page so you want them to come into view?


You can either, Scroll the window down

or you can focus the last element of the form so it comes into view

document.FormName.ElementName.focus(); //Brings field into view
document.FormName.ElementName.blur(); //Gets rid of focus on element

You can place the eithr of the ideas above after the code for your search.

Hope this gives you an idea...
