RE: Redisplay a JSF site after submit with the scrolling state previously used?

["Conway. Fintan (IT Solutions)" <Fi...@esb.ie>]

Hi,

Would the new "focus" component in the sandbox achieve this?

I.E. if the component which receives the focus is not on the first screenful, will the browser automatically scroll to the component which has the focus?

Many thanks,

Fintan

Hi!


Is there a separate component which supports autoscrolling to the component which submitted the form? I can't find one in the Tomahawk TLD Doc.

Perhaps.   I'm only now looking at that component.  But there are
still use cases where you want to scroll to non-input components on
the page, which may not receive focus.
