Browser does not remember position of page last viewed

Question

I have done a few searches for this issue and I have come up empty handed. I hope somebody can clarify things for me and point me in the right direction.

If this is incredibly important, I'd suggest investigating the following:

• add ids to each outgoing link
• use JavaScript to capture the onClick for the links
• when a link is clicked, redirect the user to that link's id fragment identifier, then link out as desired

When the user hits the back button, they'll return to that specific link, e.g. http://www.example.com/#link27 instead of http://www.example.com/

You may be able to get some ideas from here:
