Normally you wouldn't be able to do this, but the scrollIntoView
function isn't affected by the parent/child iframe limitation. Try
using:
document.getElementById("<id of the element>").scrollIntoView();
There's an optional argument that lets you align the element with the
top or the bottom of your screen.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.scrollIntoView has more
information.
Hope this helps,
