Hi,
From Your post i'm not sure if this is appropriate but try putting html
anchors to points where You would like to jump, then set
window.location.hash to jump to any of them.

Hope You find this useful.

Make a second focus() call to set focus to something within the row he
was working on?

hmm, that seems like a nice idea, I will try that, thanks.

How do you propose to track the page's position before all this
activity takes place? How is this activity initiated? Considering what
has been described I would consider using anchor tags and navigating
to the tags from within javascript event handlers..

Its like, something is supposed to be edited, and when its clicked, the page
moves up to the fields where the editing takes place and than upon
completion I want the page to move back, with a lil black ">" sign (like in
gmail telling u this is the email that u just read when u come back to the
inbox after reading email) at the start of that line/row.
Since the clicking happens at some row, I will have the row object and that
is how I can track the page's position before this activity takes place.
Anchors is a gud idea and I still havent tried that but I think its going to
work since it can control scrolling.
thanks.
