Sorry to be such a PITA...

I did what I thought you suggested and wrapped a <div
id="fromwrapper"> around the <form> in which the accordion is
embedded.  I gave that div a fixed height to 3000px (which for testing
is about twice the height of the longest statement/table combination)

Sadly, I either am completely missing the point and clueless, or that
is not working as you expected. (I hope the former and you enlighten
me..)
