I've used documentElement.scrollTop to identify page scroll position for 
returning to previous page links.

However, I only just realised it doesn't work in Chrome and perhaps 
therefore likely some other browers too.

Instead, I found body.scrollTop works in Chrome but doesn't work in FF.

While <!DOCTYPE html> is in use, would the following cover most situations 
where scroll position can be identified?

if(document.documentElement.scrollTop){
y = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
}
if(document.body.scrollTop){
y = document.body.scrollTop;
}

Many thanks,
Tuxedo
