I've just hit a browser difference that stopped me for a while!
My problem:
Text links outside a scolling div to jump the scroll view to the desired location within the scrolling div.
The scrolling div has the css overflow:auto; with a set height to enable scrolling.
Using normal anchor links and names worked for firefox but not IE6 + IE7, after researching on the net I came across a javascript equivalent.
document.getElementById('elmID').scrollIntoView(true);
This is how I used the code, by adding this line of code into the anchor tag:
<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('elmID').scrollIntoView(true);">
Using this javascript and adding ID's to the areas I needed for scroll view worked a treat!
