    After loading my webpage inside my app..

    when I scroll down a bit (say 10 times) and from there.. click to navigate to another webpage from my initial webpage..
    The new page which is loaded, retains the same extent of scrolling down - done in my previous webpage.

    Is there any way to sort this out?

      It should not happen. Don't add Scrollview, and check again.
