zone containing a scrollable element

I have a zone that contains a scrollable div with a long list of links inside it. After the users scrolls down the list and picks one of the actionlinks at the bottom, the zone refresh moves the view back to the top so the user can't see what they picked.

Is there a way to ensure that the scrollbar retains is original position?

All I did was create a zone within the parent container and update that, works fine and saved me from a wasteful outer rerendering.

  Hi John,

  I had a similar update zone problem with the tree element, but because of
  my left hand tree, right hand update got around it by vertical-align in css
  for the tree side.

  If you are using jquery, the scrollTop might help.

  or maybe set anchor points in the page and toggle a variable in your page
  class as they are scrolled past?
  i.e. section1, section2, section3

  or perhaps there's some sort of disable zone update that can be applied.

  interesting problem...
