How to keep the scroll position of a page ?

[Andy Chu <an...@gmail.com>]

Dear All,

Suppose now there is a form in the middle of a page. A user should scroll 
down to the form and fill it in. When he/she submitted the form, the system 
will redirect the same page with some response near the form to him/her. 
Because the browser receive a new page, it renders the page again. The user 
should scroll down again and see the form.

My question is :
Is it possible keep the scroll bar position when the form is submitted and 
scroll to the position where it is submitted before ?

Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
Andy

Look at the Tacos tree component. It uses javascript to remember the
scroll position in the y axis and more javascript to ensure the page
is scrolled bakc to that position.

Yes it is :-)

I implemented this using the default behaviour of a browser that moves focus 
to an anchor when it is the target URL for a form.
When the submit button is pressed, the button's unique id is passed to a 
JavaScript function which changes the form action URL to include the id as 
an anchor.

I wrap every button in the page with an id so the focus moves to it when the 
form is displayed again.

Regards

Paul.
