Reset scroll position on AJAX postback

[Mark]

Hi.

I have a page which has an update panel covering all of it.

When I do a server postback via the update panel, the screen remains in
the same scroll position - which is ok most of the time.

BUT - if on one of these postbacks within the update panel, I need to
reset the scroll position of the screen to the top - how can I do that?
I've tried .focus() on a control at the top of the page, but this
doesn't work.

Thanks for any guidance,

Mark

Hi - just wondering, if the only way to do this would be to not use
AJAX, and just use normal postbacks, which would results in the page
position being reset to 0?

Thanks, Mark

//Client Side Code : Java Script
function ResetScrollPosition()
{
setTimeout("window.scrollTo(0,0)", 0);
}

//Server Side Code : Call above Javascript function :

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, this.GetType(), "ScrollPage", "ResetScrollPosition();", true);

Only,window.scrollTo(0,0) will not work.Ajax will take precedence in this case so you have to use setTimeout function with that.

Thought I'd Let People Know it Worked

Sometimes on threads the person who asked the question gets an answer which does actually work and they're so excited and can get their project completed that they forget to come back and thank the user who provided the solution, plus let everyone else know it works.

I get it and this isn't dumping on the questioner, I totally understand how easy it is to forget to come back. He also could have posted in many different blogs/forums and just never knew it had been answered.

Ok, so to land the darn plane already....the solution provided above with the settimeout does work like a charm! Thanks so much for this solution since it definitely helped me just now.
