What about Anchors (#) and ASP.NET?

[Lars Netzel]

Hello!

I have a LOOOOONG page with a bunch of panels that you can expand and
stuff.. and as you all know when you click on a servercontrol and get a
postback, it reloads and you end up at the top of the page ... is there
anyway to get the postback to add a #anchorname to the Address so I can keep
my location down in the page??

Regards

One way you can do this is inside your Page_Load event you can register some
startup javascript along the lines of document.location.hash = "mybookmark1"
which should navigate you to #mybookmark1 within your page. Register the
script block after check for IsPostBack() if you want to do this after some
user input/post back event.

You can try some javascript -

C#
if (IsPostBack)
{
Page.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<script language = \"javascript\">"));
Page.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(window.location="abc.aspx#123));
Page.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</script>"));
}

Thankx! Works Fine!

I need to add it in every single Event that postbacks of course but I guess
thats fine!

Have you looked at using SmartNavigation?

Inside of your page directives, the aspx page, use the
SmartNavigation=True directive.

Example: <%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="yourPage.aspx.vb" Inherits="yourProject.yourPage"
SmartNavigation="True"%>

This will do all of the dirty anchor work for you when postback is
caused by an asp.net control.

Happy Coding!
