[SOLVED] Maintain Scrollbar Position After Query

[dlebowski]

I have a php site that is using AJAX and I am running into a problem that I don't know how to solve.  I imagine this will be done in the java portion of AJAX, but need assistance to confirm this. 

 

After I update my database using an update query, the results are then populated back using AJAX.  The issue I am running into is that I need the results to come back and the scrollbar to maintain it's position prior to the update query being executed.  The list of items that are returned is very large and it is a hassle to have to scroll back down to find the next item to update in the list.  Any assistance on this would be great.  Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me on this.  I'm not sure what anchors are.  Can you explain or point me to a tutorial online somewhere?  Thanks again.
