maintain scrollbar position after refresh

[sdlangers]

Hi,

Say you scroll half way down an aspx page and hit refresh.. is there any way to make it refresh and keep its new scroll position. For me, it returns to the top of the page.

thanks for your help

Why user scroll half way and refresh the page? I think it is browser control rather than application. Because there is no way for us to know the status of scroll page, right?

Maybe you can think of create your own scroll control. Or using javascript (like mouseover....) and Anchor to do it? I think it is the most you can do... but it not really solve your problem ...

Hi,

Thanks - but its definitely either an IIS setting or an ASPX setting.. since the exact same version of the site on a unix box works properly - thus the reason we need the solution.. weve ported over to .net and cant get this one part fixed. I know i could mess with anchors, but surely theres another way since it works on the other platform.


any more ideas :S

Sorry, I just curious in what situation you need it?

its for a sales site, with the products down the left hand side frame.. so if a customer is half way down, we dont want them to have to scroll down again after a refresh

Sorry again... the page will automatic refresh? why you need to refresh the page? (save record to database?)
