How to maintain scroll position on autopostback?

Question

How can I get back to the same position of a page on postback. It always seems to get to the top of the page.

I've tried using maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack = "true"

But its not working.

Answer 1

I've recently looked for this as well. Came up with a load of Javascript to be inserted until I found the following:

At the top of your .aspx codefile, insert the following:

 MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true"

so the very first sentence in your .aspx starts

<%@ Page Language="C#" MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs"

This works just fine for me without having to add any other code for keeping scrollbar positions using updatepanels

Answer 2

There are a few ways I have used to set maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack. Have you tried more than one? Can you describe what is triggering the postback and which browsers you have tested? Are you using a master page?

1. You can set Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack = true; in the code behind on page load.
2. You can add it to the page declaration <%@ Page MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" %>
3. You can add it in the web config file <pages maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="true" />
