Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the client position should be maintained; otherwise, false.

When Web pages are posted back to the server, the user is returned to the top of the page. On long Web pages, this means that the user has to scroll the page back to the last position on the page.

When the MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback()()() property is set to true, the user is instead returned to the last position on the page.

A little problem with MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback      Ben Strauss ... Thomas Lee   |   Edit   |   Show History
This doesn't seem to always work when wordwrap is enabled in GridView columns; the position seems to be calculated as though no wordwrap were taking place.

This property does not apply to controls (example ListBox) added to a User control. If the attribute is set in the page directive to where the User Control resides or in the Web.Config file it does not maintain the state of position after a full or partial postback.

Cross browser functionality of MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack      alcuin   |   Edit   |   Show History

Property works in IE6/IE7 for me while it fails at the same time in Google Chrome 0.2 and 0.3. So perhaps cross browser functionality of this property has not been completely and fully tested.
