Prevent window from scrolling to the top after popup message

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 10.2010

So I have a webpage listing a bunch of book titles. I have coded a popup message with the book summary to appear when the title is clicked on.

There is one problem. After the viewer reads a summary he or she clicks ok on the popup message, and then the window automatically scrolls back to the top.

This will be a nuisance; if the user is half way or close to the end of the list, he or she would have to keep scrolling back down to his or her spot after reading the book summary.

Is there a way to prevent this?
