Question

How can I prevent a page from going back to the top every time a button is click? I still want to execute the code on the “OnClick” event for the button.

Example:

Almost all of our forms have a button on the bottom of the page which are suppose to bring some data back from the DB and populate some labes and textboxes located on the bottom of the page, when the button is click it takes user back to the top of the page. How can I prevent this from happening?

Any help will be really appreciate it.

There are two options:

1. Use ASP.NET Ajax, in particular the UpdatePanel control
2. Set MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback to true on page level or in web.config
