There are jscripts when i search for it but i dont know
how do i apply them with the masterpage.

Any help is appreciated.. thanks

Try this it worked for me.

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder2" Runat="Server">
    <div id="divScroll" style="overflow:auto; height:450px;">  
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" ...>
        </asp:GridView>   
    </div> 
</Content> 
<script type="text/javascript">
    Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_beginRequest(BeginRequestHandler);
    Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);               
</script>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

javascript file add the following code:

var scrollTop;
function BeginRequestHandler(sender, args) 
{
    var m = document.getElementById('divScroll');
    scrollTop = m.scrollTop;
}
function EndRequestHandler(sender, args) {
    var m = document.getElementById('divGrid');
    m.scrollTop = scrollTop;
}
