Robert,

I made it work!!  Thanks for the inspiring emails.
Basically,

I put <a name="aa123"> in the page, the "aa123" is actually dynamic,
Depending what the database value is for each section.
Then the javascript in the child window is:
Window.opener.location.reload();window.opener.location="mypage1.aspx&param1
value1&param2=value2#aa123";window.close()
