Page and control attributes not working when using masterpages
<p>I'm having a lot of problems with various ASP.NET control and page attributes  e.g.</p>

<p><code>maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack</code> will not work in any shape or form, in markup, code-behind o web-config:</p>

<pre><code>Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack = true;
&lt;pages maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="true" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I've scoured the web to find a way to limit the width of columns in a gridview; many suggestions the same, none have worked for me.</p>

<p>I've had strange issues with client-side validation:
When I apply client side validators to the text fields and drop down, the button click event is inhibited (for ALL buttons on page; not just for submit button but also for global navigation buttons inheriting from a MasterPage). Some fields have more than one validator (e.g. required field and reg ex).</p>

<p>When I comment out ANY of the validators, all buttons' click events function as expected...</p>

<p>I've constructed test pages and some of these functions work ok (<code>maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack</code>, validators) but when I apply to page inherited from masterpage, problems again.. 
Could the problem be with masterpage?</p>

<p>Any ideas on any of these problems very welcome.</p>
