Reset scroll position of a page

[jstansell]

This must be an easy thing to do. In my app, I have a datagrid that I must scroll down the page to see. Then, when I click on an "exit" button with the following code behind

Response.Redirect("ThisPage.aspx", True)

The page is still scrolled down on "ThisPage.aspx".

How do I reset the scroll position to the top on "ThisPage.aspx"?

Thanks

Hi, I don't know if this is the best way but you could always enter a HTML bookmark in the page..

<a name="TopOfPage">

Then is your redirect statement

Response.Redirect("./MyRedirectedPage.aspx#TopOfPage")

If I am passing a parm is the syntax


Response.Redirect("./MyRedirectedPage.aspx#TopOfPage?parm1=value")



Thanks for all the help!!

I tried this on a page that does not take a parm. It did not work. I think my problem is the fact that this page is actually inside an IFRAME. I need to scroll the parent form to top. Is there a way to access the parent form from a page that is inside an IFRAME?

Hi, you will probably have to use javascript;

something like

document.frames[0].location = 'http://www.mysite.com#TopOfPage'

This will call the first frame in the document and set the location to the url you specified at the bookmark top of page.

Does this work with IFRAME's?

[MarkusJ_NZ]

Hi, should do as an Iframe is just another frame and should be part of the frames collection of the document.

Basically, you just want to reload the page within the Iframe using Javascript (Check out Google for a page on how to do this).

Once you have that sorted, you then want to place a bookmark in the page that will be contained within the Iframe near the top of the page.

Once you have those two working combine the two

document.frames[0].location = 'http://www.mysite.com#TopOfPage'

This should get you started
