Working around IE7 scroll problem

[Amir Michail]

Hi,

I have a gwt widget in an iframe in a Facebook page. Unfortunately,
under IE7 when the user clicks on an image hyperlink in the widget,
the whole page scrolls down for some strange reason. This doesn't
happen with Firefox & Safari.

So how do I work around this problem? I tried to hack it by scrolling
the page back up from the widget javascript, but this doesn't work in
Facebook presumably because of the same origin policy.

Any suggestions?

P.S. This is the image hyperlink I mentioned:

You used JavaScript written a piece of Google software. If Google's
developers can't write competent script, there is not much chance they
can write programs to write competent script.

There is even less chance that you can hack their widget into a usable
state.

Beware of Google programs bearing script.

That is *Java* code (unnecessary one, I should add). Try
comp.lang.java.programmer if contacting the author did not help.

GWT is Java that generates JavaScript.
