AutoPostBack send my page back to the top, how do you fix that?

[SD]

Hi,

I have a asp.net (vb) that has a lot of fields and somewhere in the bottom
of the page I have a RadioButtonList with AutoPostBack set to true so we can
enable/disable other controls.

The problem is that when this happens the user is sent to the beginning of
the page and needs to scroll down, it's a pain!

How can you set a marker or how do you control this behavior so that it goes
back to where the user was before he/she clicked the button list?

Thanks for your help!

You will have to use javascript to do this. I don't know the command to
jump down the page off the top of my head, but you'll have to mark each
radiobutton and then use the javascript command to make the jump.

Can you:

1) Create a Hidden Text Field.
- This will hold the field ID/Field Name that was last entered
2) Create a Javascript function that updates the value of this field
based on the Focus event of the field that you are working on
3) Create a Javascript function that Sets Focus to the HTML object
based on the information in the hidden field.
4) Load the Set Focus Javascript function in the Body onload event.

NOTE: for dropdowns, radio buttons, checkbox objects setting focus is
not as simple as Textboxes...so your function needs to be able to
handle every type objects on your page...

that should work...
