Thanks for pointing out this feature (I used to use a custom control to handle this).

Is there a list of these features written down somewhere? Or do you just have to poke through lots of documentation and check out all of the different intellisense options in VS2005 to find them?

Smartnavigation=true implemented the same feature in 1.1 framework

To Sri and anyone else who reads,
SmartNavigation only had "issues" and it only worked in IE. The new MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback apparently works in most common browsers and doesn't have the "issues" associated with SmartNavigation...

Just my 0.2 cents
