I don't think there is a CSS-only way.
You can do this with fragment urls if it's the main document we're
scrolling. If somewhere near the link they clicked you put
<a name="foo"></a>
And then have the popup reload the page using url#foo. They won't be
exactly where they were, but somewhere near it. Might not work in all
browsers.
But in your case, we're talking about a div with overflow: scroll. You
can experiment with fragments, I don't know if that will work.
Can you even get the scroll offset with JS for elements other than body?
