Scrollable Content III named anchor page opens halfway down

Looks good to me. There is no noticeable jump that I can see either. I mean if you know to look for it, you can catch it, but it goes by so fast, it is hard to tell. I really didn't want to have any delay in this (I used a 300 millisecond delay) a little less than a third of a second though, because IE appeared to need that time to orient on the newly created elements. Technically speaking, it shouldn't because they are already drawn before we ask the browser to do this, but that's IE. Others didn't appear to require any delay.

Would the percentage method make a difference in the way it loads?

Not on the face of it, but if we set the percent as the top value before the contents were drawn, yes. However, the problem with percent is that the position it will arrive at varies greatly depending upon the user's text size settings (except in Opera again, which uses only photo real zoom to resize pages, which is why a percent fall back for it will work, if calculated by trial and error in that browser). The current method relies on the actual pixel measurements we make once the actual content is loaded, so will be precise regardless of the text size.
