I have checked the link you gave. First I scrolled down to the middle of the page and then I pressed the refresh button in the browser and the page page went up to the top. You will have to give a good example for us to see.

It has content on the page (stock quotes) that update without scrolling. If you use meta refresh, it will scroll. Look at the page source of yahoo to see how they do that.
