Scrollbar position updatepanel ASP.NET AJAX

[Frinavale]

apparantly there is some sort of bug in .net framework 3.5 if you download the sp1 for this framwork it should be resolved, This is what i read on the tinterweb a while back i would reference but can't remember the site.

Where did you read this?

This is happening in the web browser, I cannot see how updating the .NET Framework will help solve the problem.... if so, all users will have to update the .NET Framework to fix this problem, even though it's an Ajax/JavaScript issue and has nothing to do with .NET.

I would love to solve this problem. If you could direct us to the article I would love to read it and make sense of what you are suggesting.

Thanks

ah hold on may have got the wrong end of the stick the jerking is because of this, They have some how stopped it resetting to zero before setting the position again. The blinking, it must be because he is updating every second.? sorry :)

The blinking only occurs when setting the overflow style or setting the position style. It doesn't happen when you don't set these.

I've pretty much decided to live with the bug for now because it's not very apparent in my solution. I'm only maintaining the horizontal scroll position at this time. In my solution the "jerk" is only noticeable if you have scrolled less than half the content of my Panel... it's not apparent if you scroll past half the content. I'm assuming this is the case because the first half of the content is loaded more quickly than past half way.

I think, to solve this problem, you need to be able to move the scroll position before the content is re-rendered in the page.

At this time, I believe this is impossible.

I'm hoping that I am wrong so that someone can help me find a working solution. In the future I hope to modify my control so that it maintains both the horizontal and vertical scroll position like Btreddy is doing. I do not want to have to worry about how apparent the resetting process is and would love to have a seamless solution.
