ASP.NET - How do I autoscroll to the TOP of a user control upon postback?
I know how to retain the relative page position, upon form submit, and autoscroll to that position upon postback (using javascript, not smartnavigation).
However, instead of retaining a specific position (for instance, in the middle of a long datagrid) I would like it to auto scroll to the top of the specific user control.
Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Could you use a html anchor in the page? Or is that not what you are asking?

well, if there's a way to autoscroll to a specified anchor upon postback, then i'd accept that.
the question would then become, how do i tell the browser to scroll to the anchor upon postback, after all, it's not the same as a redirect with the "#anchorname" in URL.

Ugh, why am I not thinking today... For whatever reason, I was trying "this.RegisterClientScript
Anyhow, a form of your idea is working partway now. Specifically, I'm registering the following block to the page upon firing a command from the datagrid:
<script language="JavaScript">
location.href="#pageanchor
</script>
And for "pageanchor" I'm using the ID of the usercontrol.
mrichmon, you get the points since your answer closely resembles what works for me. :)
