Autopostback problem with long webpage

[JulesBos]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I have a very long webpage (lots of entry fields on it). It has some fields that require autopostback to be set to true (e.g. some radio buttons and drop down lists), however this is causing me a problem. Some of these fields are quite a long way down the form and when the autopostback happens, after the user has clicked on the field, they are taken back to the top of the page again, which is a pain because they then have to scroll back down to find their place again.

This is probably a stupid question, but has anyone any ideas on how to resolve this? I can't really use bookmarks because I have no text on the page, just fields (and as far as I can tell only text can be converted to bookmarks).

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack property.

Thanks for this. Just had a a look and it looks like this is supported for .NET version 2.0. I'm afraid I'm on version 1.1 and it doesn't look like this will work...

Any ideas?

The help file also says that "This property replaces the obsolete SmartNavigation property." Although I'd search this forum if you plan on using that method as there are problems with it which have been highlighted and workarounds have been suggested.

I take it you are using Internet Explorer as your browser then?
