Hi, I am a newbie here and have a problem that is above my current tech level. I am hoping to find some help/suggestions.
My front page is an asp.net webform with two form controls: a sidebar, and a general form control that displays dynamic web content. Within the sidebar control I am using the standard HTML UL/LI list syntax to list all of the categories on my site. E.g.: apparel, electronics, etc… User clicks on the sidebar and is sent to the control that displays the dynamic content.
I am using a CSS div that has the overflow set to auto in the sidebar control. When user clicks on one of the categories within the sidebar, the whole page resets the two controls and sends the sidebar’s position back to the top. Problem is that the sidebar is many pages long and if the user is browsing, he will have to re scroll down to the position where they clicked.
I’ve searched the web for answers. On this site i read http://www.sitepoint.com/preserve-page-scroll-position/ which is a pretty neat javascript solution. I am thinking of trying this but not sure if it will work with the multiple controls in play for .net.
If anyone has had this issue before or can point me to a forum that can assist, I’d be great full. Or I’d be willing to pay for this to learn and to get past the problem.
thank you
