The list was inside a scrolling div so they'd be able to scroll the list to find the individual.  Everything was wrapped in an UpdatePanel  and I had everything set up right. However, when a postback occurred -- boom -- back to the top of the div. My solution was two UpdatePanels. One inside my scrolling div and the other holding the DetailsView. The UpdateMode is set to Always for both so when the update fires in one, it also fires in the other.
