I had a similar problem getting scrollTop to work after reload of div content. The content scrolled to top each time the procedure below was run. I found that a little delay before setting the new scrolltop solved the issue.

This is cut from wdCalendar where I modified this procedure:

 function BuildDaysAndWeekView(startday, l, events, config)
   ....
        var scrollpos = $("#dvtec").scrollTop();
        gridcontainer.html(html.join(""));
        setTimeout(function() {
            $("#dvtec").scrollTop(scrollpos);
        }, 25);
   ....

Without the delay, it simply did not work.
