        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5

Test case

The attached HTML reproduces this in Safari 4.0.4 and Chrome Beta.  

1) Load the HTML into the browser
2) Shorten the browser window height so that the bottom section (the region
with 'REST' printing in it) has a scroll bar
3) Scroll to the end of this section
4) click on 'try'
5) Note that the first line of the HTML now changes (via a JavaScript call)
6) ...and the 'REST' scrollable region jumps.

This jump sure seems like a bug.  It's undesirable, and does not occur in
Firefox.

Workarounds are welcome!  The technique used is the only way I've found to
achieve this effect (scrollable bottom that takes what's left from an upper
region), but this behavior makes this undeployable.
