I have a series of panels that reveal more info and a read more button which opens the modal window. This all works nice and smoothly, that is until a modal is opened and then closed, the panel with the linked button jumps to the bottom of the contained div.

Hard to explain so if you go to http://dev.s-tax.co.uk/ and scroll down to the panel 'Capital Allowance Questions Answered' and have a play, you will soon see the problem. Please forgive this incomplete page, it is work in progress.

Fair comment, but I don't need the focus to return to the panel. Normally when the focus is lost from the panel it returns to it's default state with the heading centred in the panel. Instead, when the modal closes the panel goes back to it's default state but with the bottom of panel content showing rather than the top. This only happens when closing a modal, I haven't found another way for this to occur.

Thank you, I will check that out.

Appreciated.

Just had a quick try with this and the button does retain the focus after closing the Modal, but I still have the same effect where lower, normally hidden, portion of the panel text is visible.

When the focus switches to the modal the panel returns to it's normal state, on closing the modal the panel contents slide upwards. This is the bit I don't understand.

Well that fixed it. That didn't show in the Joomla extension updates.

Thank you for the time you spent on this, again, really appreciated.
