|
| This would be fairly difficult. When your timer fires,
| you would have to detect the window's current scroll
| position, then either append it to the request or save it
| as a cookie.
|
| If you append the scroll position to the request, some
| code on the Web server would have to include it in a
| script that positioned the page on load.
|
| If you write the scroll position to a cookie, some code
| in the new page would have to retrieve the cookie and
| scroll the window.
|
| Either way, the result won't be smooth. The display will
| visibly jump to the top and then scroll down.
|
| If the amount of data is fairly small, I would consider
| making the server generate an image on the fly. Then, you
| can just reload the image, much as you would for a
| rollover.
