Using Location Links on Postback

[Zarcom]

Well basically yeah excatly that.
Does anyone know how to use location links you know

http://www.myplace.com#position1

on a post back. I have a page that is longer than the screen especially in civvy 800x600 mode. I thought that a very tasteful solution would be to add location links so that when a post back occurs the user doesn't have to scroll down to the area they last were at agian.

Anyone? Please? Hello? Oh you say I must press submit for others to see this? So I am not using a IM forum. Hmm fine then *click That'l do donkey, that'l do

Oh man, its been so long since I did something like that...

that was over a year ago in school, where we did the whole Anchor thing (it was so ghey: had an image map of a bike, and if you clicked an area it scrolled down to a description of a pedal, or a wheel, or whatever...).

Not sure, but isn't it just like you said:

you're link has some #thing to show where to go, and you just add an anchor tag to the part in the page that you want it to go to?

I do I'll get you my number at home since I don't know it or use it at work.

I know about how to implement it with links and such I was wondering how to use it on a post back from the server.

I thought that I might do a redirect including the anchor at the end of the redirect line but that would mess up the whole post back routine up wouldn't it? That'l do donkey, that'l do

I have found mine own solution. I simply put the links into the page where I wanted them.
<A Name='#postion1'></A>

Then in the code-behind where I want the page to scroll down to that spot I simply add this bit of code.

dim sb as new stringbuilder()
sb.append(&quot;<Script language='Javascript'>&quot
sb.append(&quot;location.href='#position1'&quot
sb.append(&quot;</Script>&quot

RegisterStartupScript(&quot;locator&quot;, sb.tostring)
sb = nothing

Works like a charm! That'l do donkey, that'l do
