That has nothing to do with jQuery (if I understand your statements above correctly), it is a standard behaviour of most browsers. > How can I change this behavior? Change browsers. Chrome, for example, always returns to the top of the page whereas Safari, IE and Firefox return to the scrolled position. You may be able to use the onload even to scroll to the top, but some browsers don't dispatch an onload event when a page is visited using the back button, others do. > For me it is a problem because, for example, I have a list of items > and the option to go to a page with filter options for these items, > but, if a user scroll down before filtering, the script will load the > the filtered items but the 'view" vertically will start from when the > user left not from the top. > > Hope I have been clear Clear as mud. Is the navigation away a plain link, or are you using a script link? If the latter, scroll to the top of the page before navigating to the filter page so when the user comes back, the page is scrolled up. They might be a bit annoyed though if the navigation fails and they are put to the top of the page regardless. Alternatively, the function that filters the page on return (does Mobile Safari dispatch a load event in this case?) can scroll up the page. What happens if the filter increases the number of options? Does the user still want to be taken to the top of the page? After all, they just need to tap the top bar and they are back to the top anyway - is one tap really too much to ask? At least the fact that they've had to scroll up confirms that the page was filtered. -- Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
