[RESOLVED] keeping the page in position during postback

[JonnyPoet]

Hi Friends !
As I'm fairly new in any web programming I have some realy basic questions. So here is one. How to get a aspx page in position during postback.

Th eproblem is easy. My page is longer then one page of a screen so people scroll down while filling out a questionary. When they are at the end they have to click a button and to send the questionary. The postback delivera a Captcha which is to answer before the programm áccepts the data. This all works but when they click on the button and the postback is sent the page reloads at the top of the page, so people again need to scroll down to see the captcha.Also when the Captcha is to complex and they want another one, they get it by clicking but the page reloads to the top instead to the last position it has had.

i have seen on other pages that this can be done but how to do this ?

You can manually do it, but it is complicated. Why not just use AJAX instread of full page postbacks? Much more interactive....

It is well worth the time to go through the tutorials on MSDN. I have not used a full page postback for an ASP.NET application in over two years.

And where do I find the tutorials or are you talking about AJAX Tutorials ?
( I just have learned to use javascrippt for all the radio buttons which I'm using in that formular so I only need two postbacks in the moment That one for sending the data and that one for the captcha test. )

I am referring to the AJAX tutorials. And, NO a full postback is almost NEVER required. Consider the amount of information on the page that will NOT change...

An UpdatePanel allows you to change just the DATA.

Hi friends !

For all who also needed this. I found a very easy solution
Simple set on top position of your asp.net page the following

<%@ Page Language="C#" MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" .... %>
The dots are your standard settings you have there. This really wrks nice. even for a full postback. BTTW: I'm using VS 2008
