.NET 1.1 SmartNavigation problem

[Elliot Rodriguez]

I am sure I'm not the only person whos experienced this :)

In using SmartNavigation I notice that every few times my page posts back,
attempts to read from the Request.Form collection bomb with Object Reference
Not Set to an Object errors.

My page contains a number of controls that obviously postback. It is not a
reliably reproductable error. If I reload AFTER the error all my page state
is lost; its as if the user visited the page the first time.

Since its pretty obvious in my web research that SmartNavigation is bugged,
anyone have a better workaround? I've seen a couple, but I'm not entirely
happy with them.

IE6 fully patched, BTW.

Thanks.

I'm just looking at this as well, mostly because smartnav can interfere with response.redirect. I think the best approach I've
seen is where you create a hidden field and store the current scroll position on formsubmit, and then in your code, output some
javascript to restore that scroll position on postback.

Thanks for the reply Adrian. I ended up using a control from 4GuysFromRolla
that seems to do the trick. Thankfully this is an IE only application.

Hi Elliot, does that control deal with setting focus too ?
