i found this in the search (
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/fadein-of-div-scrolls-viewport-to-top-of-div), which describes my problem exactly.
but i do not change hash tags, and i dont do clicking.
an interval function is fading elements in and out. like a slider, but automated (displaying catchphrases).
everytime one interval is over, the viewport centers the faded div. so if you are down the page reading other stuff, it zaps you back up to watch the "oh so awesome"-animation.
is this a known issue? i would like the viewport to just ignore whats happening on top of the page.
thx for any help
