hi

i have a page filling a gridview which is all working fine.

the grid is basically the result of a search .. the filters for which are a number of dropdowns and a couple of textboxes the data from the grid and dropdowns are saved in the session and the whole page lives inside an updatepanel

when i navigate away from the page (as it happens by clicking a link inside the grid) and then back button to it, all the droppers are back to their unselected values and the grid is nowhere to be seen..

i understand that this is because of the scriptmanager doesnt do 'standard' postbacks so the browser doesnt realise what has happened.

however i have set the EnableHistory to true in the scriptmanager

is there an easy way to get this to remember without dropping the updatepanel/scriptmanager?

also to complicate things further the scriptmanger /updatepanel is actually in a master page. so not really sure how i can get the navigate bits to work in the scriptmanager.. clearly i am a bit confuised and any help that someone could provide would be happily received

thanks nat
