Hello,

I have a datalist which I am using to view and modify some data. When
the user clicks the "edit" link, the appropriate cell is moved into edit
mode, as specified in the EditTemplate.

The problem is that if the data table is longer than the browser window,
so the user has to scroll down to see parts of it, then when they are
taken to edit mode, the page loads and stays at the top of the table.
They then have to scroll down and find the cell they asked to edit.

Any way to take them straight to the cell? Any other solutions to the
problem, for example forcing the row containing the cell to be edited to
the top of the table, etc?

Any suggestions appreciated.
