Their equivalents in Netscape 4 & 6 are window.pageXOffset and
window.pageYOffset.

document.body.scrollTop and document.body.scrollLeft is writeable as well, 
but window.pageXOffset and window.pageYOffset are read-only.

But the method window.scroll(x, y); is cross-browser!

are those readonly properties or can they be set? Furthermore, do they work
in browsers other than IE?

First of all, regarding:

> down the page has scrolled.

Yes, there is. document.body.scrollTop and document.body.scrollLeft. 
See

ollTop.asp (might wrap...)


Regarding location and refreshing:
A clue might be in  location.reload(false) = Reloads the page from the
browser cache
   location.reload(false) = Reloads the page from the
server

No, reloading is like clicking the Go button, whereas refreshing is like
clicking the refresh button.  Try each while scrolled down a Web page and
you'll see that the former will place you at the top, whereas the latter
will return you to your previous position.  I don't believe that refreshing
a page can be done through JavaScript, though I am following the thread in
case someone comes up with a way to do it.
