I'm new to jQuery and javascript but already very impressed with jQuery. 

I have a page divided in two columns (divs). When one clicks on the links in one column, it loads the php page in the other column. I have this working, but what i would like to do is that not only would it load the php page in the other column but also automatically scroll to an anchor in that php page. 

This is what i'm using at the moment for the links from rightPanel:

1. onclick="ajax_request(leftPanel, page.php#anchor1)"
