Anchor question

[Steve Peterson]

Hi

I have a rather lengthy web form. Near the end of the form (one must scroll
down to reach it) I have a dropdown list control w/ the autopostback set to
true. When the user changes the index the post back occurs, I handle the
code, no problem. However, what I wold like to happen is that when the html
is returned to the client that the page automatically shows the bottom
where the dropdown list is. I have placed an anchor tag in the html next to
the cbo control tag, but can't quite figure out how to use it correctly, or
rather modifying the return URL string so the client browser does what I
would like..

Anyone help out?

TIA
Steve

You can set "SmartNavigation" on. This should work in IE, not in other
browsers, but even there I had problems: external stylesheets got lost.

There are several components "out there" that try to maintain scrollposition
between postbacks.

Hi Hans

Thx for your reply. I tried turning on SmartNavigation and it seemed to work
fine. However, iexplorer.exe will throw an error if I close the browser at
this page. If I follow a link from this page to another page or hit "back"
button & close, then browser closes fine. I have no clue why the following
error is thrown:

"The instruction at "0x1003e8d" referenced memeory at "0x1003e8d" . The
memory could not be "read".
Click OK to terminate program

I'm running the latest version of IE
(6.0.2900.2180.xpsp2_rtm.0040803-2158)...

Like I said - this error only happens if I have SmartNavigation on (I tried
both ways - in @Page directive & setting it by code). Page closes fine w/
out SmartNavigation on..

mmmm, bug in IE?
