I would like to allow the user to click a row in the grid causing an ajax postback that will populate the detail controls with data, but NOT cause the grid to be repainted. The main reason for this is that if the grid is scrolled down and a row is clicked the repaint of the grid restores the "focus" to the top of the grid and I would like the clicked row to remain in view.
