[RESOLVED] [02/03] Save Scrollbar Position

I have seen and used the htc solution for DIVs overflow types of scrollbars but I need the whole page to retain its browser's scrollbar position.

Of course this is for IE but if it works for FF then thats ok too. :D


Thanks

I'm not actually 100% certain but i think setting smartnavigation to true will maintain scrollposition. To try it just add SmartNavigation = true to your page directive.

Yes, I have used that property before but it gives flakey results and causes some other random issues. I read its best not to use it. Does it work for you well?

Actually I haven't used smartnavigation for about 3 years although I seem to remember it working for me (also to maintain scroll position).

Sorry not more help.

No prob. ;)

I did find this that should shed some light on SmartNavigation - http://weblogs.asp.net/ksamaschke/ar...4/27/6085.aspx

Also found this for an alternative but havent tried it out yet.

SmartNav in 1.1 is buggy.

I'd do this myself, capture the scrollbar position before each postback, save it to a hidden field and re-implement the scrollbar position after each reload.

How do you capture the SB position?

The document.body.scrollTop property

Oh so its a JS thing. I'll look into the code then.
Where and how should I call it? I assume using some Page.RegisterStartupScript but should it go in the Page_Load event?

Thanks

I got this yesterday and is a good solution as there is allot more to it then "document.body.scrollTop" property. :)

Browser compatibility, pish posh :P

Guess you didnt read part 2 then. This is where it all is put together. ;)

Uhm... it's just a web control. That should be second nature for you. Not second part! :afrog:

Yes and how easy is that :) Remember I am not an ASP.NET expert like yourself. I'm still learning it but its going better lately.

A few more days and you'll be in the dark side... and you'll see how much better it is thatn windows forms development! :afrog:

I'm already liking what I have learned so far but the cross browser platform issues are a real headach that you dont have with Winforms development.

I have another question but I will create a new thread for it. ;)
