Here we faced the same problem and came up with a simple solution. In fact it's very easy with the WebKit. When you reload: - Search for the correct ScrollView in the WebView - remember its documentVisibleRect - reload webview on callback of the didFinishLoad: - go to the correct ScrollView - scrollRectToVisible Voilá. We never would have thought of shipping SubEthaEdit with the WebPreview without this, because it's quite unusable if you really want to work with it. It's a shame BBEdit does not get it right, but well, this on of the reasons why we did SubEthaEdit in the first place. Have a look at SubEthaEdit.
