Thank you both for the ideas.  I had covered all of those bases, if I remember correctly, but with no success.  However, last night, during a conversation with someone, I was showing him the site, and he suggested that what I needed wasn't window.scrollTo, but parent.window.scrollTo, which was exactly what my problem was.

As I have said for many years, there is no better tool for debugging like a second set of eyes.
