jQuery UI .widgets resetting scroll positions of children when they are hidden

I am making heavy use of jQuery UI with my latest project. Unfortunately I've hit a major wall due to some really whacky behavior exhibited by the jQuery UI widgets when they contain elements with scrollbars for overflow.

Check out this demo

1. Scroll down in one of the .scroll-container elements
2. Click an accordion header
3. Click on old header - note the element was auto-scrolled to the top.

Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? It's screwing with a major plugin of mine that utilizes jQuery scrolling. I'm flat-out lost as to what to do here!

Perhaps this is a bug worth mentioning in the jQuery UI dev forums...

Edit

So far the bug has been开发者_C百科 confirmed in...

• Chrome - 8.0.552.231 on OSX 10.6.5
• Safari - 5.0.3 on OSX 10.6.5 (makes sense)
• FF - 3.6.12 on OSX 10.6.5

And is not present in...

• FF - 3.6.12 on OSX 10.6.5

I had the same problem. A workaround I came up with is to set the id of the ui object after creation. Then I save the scrollTop() position before I hide the object. And when I show the object again, I simply set the scrollTop() to the saved value.

// Set the id of the object if you have multiple objects with the same class
if ($("#divScroll").length == 0) {    // If the object does not exist with an id
    $(".ui-jqgrid-bdiv").each(function () {    // Select each object via class
        strID = $(this).attr("id");
        // If the current object (selected via class) does not have an id, set id
        if (strID == undefined || strID == false) {
            $(this).attr("id", "divScroll");
        }
    });
}

// Save the scroll position before hide()
intScrollTop = $("#divScroll").scrollTop();
$("#divScroll").hide();

// Set the scroll position to the saved value after show()
$("#divScroll").show();
$("#divScroll").scrollTop(intScrollTop);

According to the jQuery UI dev who answered my trouble ticket:

This is just how browsers work, as soon as you hide an element, it loses the scroll position.
