Add support for scrolling named anchors into view.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a link to a named anchor within the same page (ie: <a href="#id"
target="_self">id</a>)
2. Click on that link to move to the location in the page.
3. Click on a link that will move to another panel.
4. Click on the back button (browser or iui).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want to go back to the previous panel, instead nothing happens as the
browser tries to go back to the named anchor.  Clicking back again returns
to the previous panel.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
iUi: release 0.20
OS: Win XP
Browsers: Safari 4.0, FF 3.5.1

Sorry if this has been asked before or is something I'm just doing wrong. 
I searched through the issues list and didn't see anything except for a
note about the same issue in the comments to issue 82.  Please let me know
if I should be using different tags on the anchor link or if I'm otherwise
doing something wrong.

Thanks!

I fixed this myself  with a little bit of javascript:
function scrollToElement(id) {
    var element = document.getElementById(id);
    if (element) {
        element.scrollIntoView(true);
    }
}

Called by:
<a target="_self" onclick="scrollToElement('id')">Link</a>

Cheers!

We do need to fix this in a future version of iUI.  Provide a mechanism to use 
scrollIntoView to get to named anchors.  

The workaround in comment #1 may suffice as a solution in the meantime.

I wrote some code that does the scrollIntoView for named anchors.  It was on an 
experimental branch and is not thoroughly tested, but is worth looking at as a 
starting point:
