This is my problem:
I have a scrollbar with position always defaulted to the topmost part of the page (Page 1) upon load. Also, I have another page (Page 2) that I nagivate to from Page 1. Whenever i click the Back button in Page 2 to navigate back to Page 1, the scrollbar always stays in the top most part of the page. This i think is due to calling a CCS scroll class with property overflow set to auto:

.scroll
{
overflow: auto;
background-color: #fef6d6
}


Is there a way for me to update this current setup such that the scrollbar position will stay to where i left off in Page 1 if I reload the page (via the Back button in Page 1)?

Is the scrollbar the one from browser or the one you created (for dynamic HTML etc)?

The scrollbar is something I created.

Okay,

Back to your question.

Is there a way for me to update this current setup such that the scrollbar position will stay to where i left off in Page 1 if I reload the page (via the Back button in Page 1)?

it would be a bit hard. Unless you want to record the scrolling position (e.g. stored in cookie), but I would suggest you not to worry about this.

In fact, I thought I'm done and didn't care about this scroll thing. But one main requirement is to implement this screen behavior.

I have been searching the net for some tips but there's just a churn of info that i couldn't get to one clear and working approach.

Anyways, let's say I store the old position of the scrollbar , <strikethrough>how would this work?</strikethrough> I meant how should this be done in javascript code?

I very much appreciate the help!
Thanks so much!

It seems that i can get the position of the scrollbar via:

document.body.scrollLeft;
document.body.scrollTop;

Is it possible for the values of these properties to be modified such that the position of the scrollbar changes? How is this done?

==============================

I realized after testing that the scrollLeft and scrollTop didn't work as i expected. The properties apply to the entire IE page and not the area i expected to change. (GRIEF ...!!!!).
