You can use scrollTop

document.getElementById('your_div_id').scrollTop = 50;

you can use an id on a certain point in the text:

<span id='scrollTo'>lorem ipsum...</span>

and then in the URL:

localhost/index.html#scrollTo

or:

if you want to go the javascript route you can use the jquery $.scroll method
