Go Back to Previous Spot on PageI'm using list of page in one page sometimes I have a longer list of items. When the user scrolls down the page and clicks on the item, they go to a detailed view for that item. If they hit the back button on the browser takes them back to the list, but it goes back to the top of the list.
Is there a way to have back button will take the user back to the list and the same scroll location?
Jump to PostAre you using anchors?
<a href="#me">Go to 'me'</a>In your list...
<a id="me">Me!</a>You'll notice that the url will change.
So when you navigate away and then press the back button on the browser, you should go back to the 'Me!' text.

That anchor trick will work with a custom button, but not with the browser back button. I would look into infinite scroll together with HTML5 History api. There's a payed script that does this perfectly.
