I'm working on a paginated datagrid that is so far working fine, except that I use the next prev adn jump to page design pattern above the gird. I recall seeing exactly what you are asking for in html, like ntobi's live grid for example. I'm sure it wouldn't bee too difficult to adapt my paged grid to changes "pages" using a scrollbar. Let me play around with it a bit and I'll post some code soon.
