Maintain scroll position after postbacks in ASP.NET 2.0

To maintain the scroll position for the large web page you can use on of these methods :

1- use Web.config page section <pages maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="true" />

: this will maintains the scroll positions for all the web site pages.

2- in the page declaration  <%@ Page MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" %> : this will maintains the scroll position for this page only.

3- programmatically from code behind System.Web.UI.Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack = true;  : this will maintains the scroll position for this page only (the same as page declration).

I used  MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" in order to maintain the position of the scrollbar of a treeview included in an ajax control but nothing happened

Do u have another solution ?

Thats a wonderful option. Got onto google to search for a huge code, which turned out to be a tag on page directive! awesome!

AK said:

you mention that if set the value on Web.config file it would maintain its position. i tried it but it did not work? any reason why?

# October 9, 2008 5:07 PM

Hosam Kamel said:

Yes , it should did so unless you've some controls or other things prevent this

check MSDN : msdn.microsoft.com/.../950xf363.aspx

let me know if it is disabled allover the pages or in certain pages ? also are you using web project or web site ?

It works well with earlier versions of IE. But it fails with the latest version and also with Firefox. Is there a new fix?

# August 8, 2009 11:18 AM

Hosam Kamel said:

@Bobby Strain please try compatibility view in IE 8 it should fix your problem if so you can force his compatibility mode through a browser meta tag

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

hope it helps

Hi,

I am using the AJAX Ad rotator control from the AJA tool Kit for dot net and Every time the adds rotate the scroll bar postion either jumps up or down in IE 6,7,8. Firefox works fine. aspspider.ws/.../cms.aspx

I have already tried maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="true" in the web config, the page itself and programatically with no success. Any thoughs or help will be much appreciated.

Interestingly enough there appears no issue when run through visual studio 2008 in the development environment but the issue exhibits itself under local host or the demo site described above.
