Persist Page Location

I have an aspx page which has many controls. Just enough to cause the user t
o scroll down a little to see them all. Incidentally the last control is a t
able control which allows you to add a new row dynamically upon clicking a l
ink button.
Because link button fires a postback, which is what is needed in order to ad
d the next row to the table it brings the user back to the top of the page a
fterwards.
I want the user to be back where they clicked on the link button at the bott
om of the page. I recall there is a setting or some easy way to do this but
for the life of me can not remember. Any help would be great!

SmartNavigation was the way to overcome some of this 'page viewing
state' problems in the browser, but I've heard it's buggy.

Hi Demetri,
Have a look at Scott Guthrie's TechEd 2003 Black Belt Web Forms presentation
(http://www.scottgu.com) he coveres this scenario, under the title
"scrolling and postback".
Hope this helps,
Michael
