There is a way if you use AutoPostBAck, in which you have a hidden value field in there, and you attach an anchor to the row/cell in which the value lies, but then again, i think that relies on javascript. I will have to check when i get back to work.

and the other solution, you obviously know about is element.scrollIntoView(); which only works in IE5 + I believe.

I don't really understand your reservations about Javascript, since it really is a must in modern websites these days.

If you turn of javascript and visit many 'super duper' sites, you will find they alert you that either you cannot use the site, or much of the functionality will be broken. (Same if you block cookies).
