You'll have to get the scroll offsets and sent it to the server with every refresh, or you can store it in a cookie.
Then when the refreshed window has loaded, scroll the window to the saved scroll offsets.
Heres how to get the scroll offsets:
function getScrollXY() {
var scrOfX = 0, scrOfY = 0;
if( typeof( window.pageYOffset ) == 'number' ) {
//Netscape compliant
scrOfY = window.pageYOffset;
scrOfX = window.pageXOffset;
} else if( document.body && ( document.body.scrollLeft || document.body.scrollTop ) ) {
//DOM compliant
scrOfY = document.body.scrollTop;
scrOfX = document.body.scrollLeft;
} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.scrollLeft || document.documentElement.scrollTop ) ) {
//IE6 standards compliant mode
scrOfY = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
scrOfX = document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
}
return [ scrOfX, scrOfY ];
}

To save stuff in cookies via javascript you can use;
/**
* Get a cookie value
* @param string cookie name
*/
commonLib.prototype.getCookie = function( name ) {
var start = document.cookie.indexOf( name + "=" );
var len = start + name.length + 1;
if ( ( !start ) && ( name != document.cookie.substring( 0, name.length ) ) ) {
return null;
}
if ( start == -1 ) return null;
var end = document.cookie.indexOf( ";", len );
if ( end == -1 ) end = document.cookie.length;
return unescape( document.cookie.substring( len, end ) );
}
/**
* Set a cookie
* @param string cookie name
* @param string cookie value
* @param string cookie expiration counter in days
* @param string cookie path
* @param string cookie domain
* @param bool secure?
*/
commonLib.prototype.setCookie = function( name, value, expires, path, domain, secure ) {
var today = new Date();
today.setTime( today.getTime() );
if ( expires ) {
expires = expires * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
}
var expires_date = new Date( today.getTime() + (expires) );
document.cookie = name+"="+escape( value ) +
( ( expires ) ? ";expires="+expires_date.toGMTString() : "" ) +
( ( path ) ? ";path=" + path : "" ) +
( ( domain ) ? ";domain=" + domain : "" ) +
( ( secure ) ? ";secure" : "" );
}
/**
* Remove a cookie
* @param string cookie name
* @param string cookie value
* @param string cookie path
* @param string cookie domain
*/
commonLib.prototype.deleteCookie = function( name, path, domain ) {
if ( getCookie( name ) ) document.cookie = name + "=" +
( ( path ) ? ";path=" + path : "") +
( ( domain ) ? ";domain=" + domain : "" ) +
";expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT";
