Moving down a page in code

[Gravy]

Hi,

I'm handling a postback from an ASP.NET Checkbox and I ideally want the page
when reloaded to position itself back to where the user was. This is similar
to using the '#' in the url I think, i.e.
http://localhost/mysite/mypage.aspx#marker

Is there was way of doing this in a postback event handler?

Thanks for your help

IIRC some browsers, like IE will do this automatically, no need to force it.
The risk is that if you pass it the value to "jump" it may re-post again.

I think asp.net provides a solution for thist. Turn on smart navigation.
This is an attribute of the page directive i think. If using VS, you will
see the property in the properties window. Set it to true

The problem is identifying in the page where the user was. The browser has
no way of knowing the scroll position of the window. You might have a look
at SmartNavigations, but from what I've heard, it may or may not work.

Thanks for all your input guys,

I shall check out this SmartNaviation in a short while. I've broken things a
little at the moment :-(
