There is a page property which is to be set true to maintain the scroll position on postback. @ Page Language =C# AutoEventWireup =true CodeFile =Default.aspx.cs Inherits =_Default MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback =true %> or Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack = true ;

Hi Rakesh I have added the two properties  MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback =true and Smartnavigation=true in web.config. And also created browser file .But its not working. Whether i have to mention those properties in all pages?

Suthish Nair · Answer

Smart navigation is more of a pain than good. Use with care !! This property is deprecated. I still remember the first time when you load the page everything works fine. But after couple of postbacks its starts throwing js error or web form not loading. from msdn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.smartnavigation.aspx In most circumstances do not set this property in code. Set the SmartNavigation attribute to true in the @ Page directive in the .aspx file. When the page is requested the dynamically generated class sets this property.

ok I have your solution. First use below in .aspx page @ Page Language =C# AutoEventWireup =true CodeFile =Default.aspx.cs Inherits =_Default MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback =true %> now after that put below code in code behind file protected void Page_Load( object sender EventArgs e) { SmartNavigation = true ; } now create a default folder of App_Browsers in root directory and add new item select browser.browser file and set its name like SafariFix.browser and put replace below code You can find existing browser definitions at \Microsoft.NET\Framework\ \CONFIG\Browsers --> browsers > browser id =  NewBrowser  parentID =  Mozilla  > identification > userAgent match =  Unique User Agent Regular Expression  /> identification > capture > userAgent match =  NewBrowser (?'version'\d+\.\d+)  /> capture > capabilities > capability name =  browser  value =  My New Browser  /> capability name =  version  value =  ${version}  /> capabilities > browser > browser refID =  Safari1Plus  > capabilities > capability name =  supportsMaintainScrollPositionOnPostback  value =  true  /> capabilities > browser > browsers > it will completely solve your problem because i already tested in all three browsers

Then try with the below javascript as usual way before .net came. formID ]. xCoordHolder .value = scrollX; document.forms[ formID ]. yCoordHolder .value = scrollY; } function sstchur_SmartScroller_Scroll() { var x = document.forms[ formID ]. xCoordHolder .value; var y = document.forms formID ]. yCoordHolder .value; window.scrollTo(x y); } window.onload = sstchur_SmartScroller_Scroll; window.onscroll = sstchur_SmartScroller_GetCoords; window.onkeypress = sstchur_SmartScroller_GetCoords; window.onclick = sstchur_SmartScroller_GetCoords; // -->
