Retain Scroll Position

Hello,
Is there a way to retain the Scroll Position in JSF? I have a page that uses both standard JSF and Tomahawk tags. Everytime the page reloads it jumps to the top.

I used JavaScript as a work around. However, I am wondering if there is a better solution.

Thanks,
Yasmin

Not without using a client side language such as Javascript. It is as far the only language which can tell you something about the current scroll position and is able to change it.

JSF runs entirely at the server side and just produces a bunch of HTML. It can't to anything for you here.

[edit] Got server error? Anyway, this post got doubleposted. Removed now.

Thanks a bunch. I thought I would ask just in case you guys know a better way.

Funny, I edited it only 1 time. The forum software is bugging.

mr.gluck,
I just put focus on the buttons of the page so the page does not jump to the top when a particular button is clicked.

<snippet>
onclick="document.getElementById['element'].focus();"

Hope it helps.
