Page Reload Scrolling Issues

Hello.

I've got a long web form that has to reload 6-7 times to validate data
(sigh, I know) making for a rocky-enough experience for users. To add insult
to injury, each time the page reloads, it loads and scrolls back to the top
instead of remaining in the section that caused the page to reload. I'm
looking for a way to ensure that when a dropdown box is changed near the
bottom of the form (2 screens down from the top) that the page reload returns
to the correct section. Any ideas?

I can't use panels, since all sections must be present and visible to the
user.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks Rotsey -- This fixed the issue in Internet Explorer.

Unfortunately, the issue remains in Firefox and likely Safair. This is good
enough for now, but I hope it's something Microsoft considers addressing in a
more standards-compliant future release.

Thanks again.
