Title Body

I have a simple form with a few required field validators and a validation summary control. When I submit the form, the client validation will cause the form to jump to the top of the page. If i remove the validation summary, the page does not move. Heres a quick example: <asp:TextBox ID="test" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="testrequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="test">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator> <asp:ValidationSummary ID="summary" runat="server" /> <asp:Button ID="submit" runat="server" Text="submit" /> I've tried setting SetFocusOnError="true" in the required field validator and MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" for giggles - even though this isn't a postback - without any luck. Is there a known solution for this problem? EDIT: I've found the problem in the js generated by WebResource.axd. Seems to come down to a single line in the ValidationSummaryOnSubmit() function. line 534: window.scrollTo(0,0); Any ideas on how to remove or bypass this? EDIT2: Quick work around for the time being: set EnableClientScript="false" for all validation controls (disabling client validation) set MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" in Page directive Still hoping for a client side solution... EDIT3: It seems a better work around is to just override the window.scrollTo() function so that it does nothing when called by the validation script: <script type="text/javascript"> window.scrollTo = function() { } </script> Adding the above anywhere on the page leaves the client validation in tact, but disables the window.scrollTo() method thro
