Goto a location on the WebPage without scrolling

[rpathy1974]

I have a link to UPDATE the contents of my Web page. Upon click of the UPDATE link, i'm submitting the page to do the db update at the server end.

Everytime i click Update the webpage gets scrolled to the top. I need to hold the page exactly at the same point after the Update process.

I understand that this is possible by using...
<a href="#C4">Click here to Goto Para-4</a>
<a name="C4"><h2>Para-4</h2></a>

But this would require user intervention to goto that location in my page.

But i want to make it all happen when i click on Update and submit the page.

Is there a way, that after the page is being posted to directly goto a location in the page.

Please let know !

There is a method for achieving in ASP.NET called SmartNavigation. You can enable it in the page directive using SmartNavigation="true" or for all of your app in the web.config file.

It's a bit buggy in the current release of ASP.NET and hence lots of people don't use it. Do a keyword search in this forum for SmartNavigation, it has been discussed here many times before.

Here's a link to my workaround for not having to use SmartNavigation. Calling SmartNavigation a bit buggy is like saying that Bill Gates is a little wealthy. ;-)

Thanks! to everyone for responding
I finally got it working, I tried this...

I called the below JScript OnLoad of my web page by passing the required HyperLink Name (stored in a Hidden Field).

function OnLoadGotoSubSec()
{
window.location.hash=document.cpf.hGotoSubSecNo.value;
}
