AUTO_SCROLL de-/activation

Hi.

It would be great if it would be possible to de-/activate the
AUTO_SCROLL behavior programmatically. As far as I read the mailing
list, actually there's no way to accomplish that.

On pages where validation errors occur and the submit button is on the
bottom of the page (after scrolling down), AUTO_SCROLL is a no-go,
because the user wouldn't see the message on top of the page. On the
other hand when scrolling a table through a pager for example it's
annoying that everytime the page pops to the top.

So, changing this behavior on page level would be nice.

Any ideas?

regards,
Veit

Veit,

I know of a *hack* or two that will disable AUTO_SCROLL on the page level.

For example, if you put the following somewhere on your page:

<input type="hidden" name="autoScroll" />

It will *break* the autoscroll feature, due to duplicate autoscroll 
input boxes. I found out about this because it is the probable cause of 
TOMAHAWK-713. There are also probably ways to break it (for a single 
page) using javascript.

I don't know of anything in the framework yet to configure autoscroll 
beyond simply "on" or "off".

Hm, looks like a working workaround - but not for me :).
I would like to keep AUTO_SCROLL deactivated per default and only activated when needed...

Veit
