Thanks for filing, but you still haven't made it clear what the bug is

Maybe doesn't be a bug, but a differ behavior.

If you use html function for change a container and now this container has one script tag (<script></script>) and a form with a textbox (<form><input type="text"></form>), when you focus the textbox and press enter for submit form and change again the container, the scroll will go top, if you press button submit this won't happen.

This only happen if your browser uses Webkit (ex: Chrome).

A proof of concept: ​http://jsfiddle.net/yeikos/SgNKV/

As asked in the commit, why does the .innerHTML require a try/catch?
