Smart Navigation

I used to work with Smart Navigation for a while but I removed it after experiencing problems with that.
The number of posts I read about that confirm this idea.

However, I still find this solution elegant and useful when you have long forms, or when you want to come back to the last entry box.

ScottGu, Scott or others MVPs, do you know if this functionality will persist in .Net 2.0, or does someone know a solution to replace Smart Navigation ?

My own solution is to use Javascript with a Set Focus function, but it's quite 'heavy' if you have to manage a important number of fields.

    I have tried something with Smart Navigation. In my case the smart navigation used to work properly in IE6. But as soon as you run the same .aspx page on the IE5, the page used to give stupid problems. For that matter I tried changing the SMARTNAVIE5.js file provided by .NET. It works fine. Now the page works fine in IE5 browser also.



    Basically the problem is with the code segment in IE5 which is missing. Just add 3 lines in the SMARTNAVIE5.js and it works.



    As there is no facility of attaching the .js file. If anyone wants the file please mail me. I can send it as an attachment.
