The build I have used generated output with a 120% enlargement to
content. I did this because some of the text is very small and if I used
100% it was virtually unreadable. Anything more than 120% and the page
is too wide requireing tooooo much scrolling.

If you are using 1024x768 or better it doesn't require much if any
scrolling. Since most of the developers here are what I would consider
power users I assume they are already using screen rez of that size.

I'm afraid not. This window is simply an HTML frame which is being
loaded with a new HTML page. When a browser loads a new page it resets
things such as scroll bars because the new page might not even need
scroll bars. So what happens is that the browser is just throwing away
your positioning since that was the positioning for the previous page
and not for the new page.

I don't even think you can trap or read scroll bar positioning in the
browser with JavaScript.  :-\
