Hi Evertjan:

    I've changed my remember() function to what is show below, and 
re-tested:

Result:

    On IE8, I get the error 'body is undefined'

    BUT, it works on IE8 and I return to the 'remembered' set of lines in 
the table even with the 'indefined' error ???

    On Chrome, FF, ands Safari, I'm not sure what is going on ...

-Mel

--------------------------
function remember(e) {
var targ,tid;
if (!e)
  {
  var e=window.event;
  }
if (e.target)
  {
  targ=e.target;
  }
else if (e.srcElement)
  {
  targ=e.srcElement;
  }
if (targ.nodeType==3) // defeat Safari bug
  {
  targ = targ.parentNode;
  }
tid=targ.id;

body.onload="document.getElementById(tid).scrollIntoView();"
return;
}
