positioning vertical scrollbar

[r pasadhy via .NET 247]

Hi,
I am new to this list. So please forgive me if this question is arepeat.
Basically, there is this big aspnet form on which I have a lot ofdropdown listboxes. When the selected index changes on any ofthese dropdowns, the form resubmits. The problem is that whenthis happens the user is forced to the top of the page and hasto scoll down to where they were at before the submit. This isunderstandably very annoying. How can I position the verticalscroll bar so that the page refresh takes the user back to wherethey were?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

'to remember scroll bar position so that postbacks restore the user to the
spot on the page where they were:
'any page that wants to use this feature needs to add this after the <form>
tag:
<input type="hidden" name="__SCROLLPOS" value="" />


'I add this code to my base page in PreRender method so the attributes are
added to the HTML Head tag whenever a form with that hidden field is posted.

If Not (Request("__SCROLLPOS") Is Nothing) AndAlso
Request("__SCROLLPOS") <> String.Empty Then
Dim pos As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Request("__SCROLLPOS"))
.Attributes("onscroll") =
"javascript:if(document.forms[0].__SCROLLPOS)document.forms[0].__SCROLLPOS.value
= Body.scrollTop;"
.Attributes("onload") = "javascript:Body.scrollTop=" & pos & ";"
Else
.Attributes("onscroll") =
"javascript:if(document.forms[0].__SCROLLPOS)document.forms[0].__SCROLLPOS.value
= Body.scrollTop;"
End If
