<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {  
  var top = $('#rt_outer').offset().top - parseFloat($('#rt_outer').css('marginTop').replace(/auto/, 0));
  $(window).scroll(function (event) {
    // what the y position of the scroll is
    var y = $(this).scrollTop();

    // whether that's below the form
    if (y >= top) {
      // if so, ad the fixed class
      $('#rt_outer').addClass('fixed');
    } else {
      // otherwise remove it
      $('#rt_outer').removeClass('fixed');
    }
  });
});
</script>

The problem is fairly straight forward. If I use a header redirect to a new location in the page (say half way down, I jump to #halfway after processing a php script using header("somepage.php#halfway") the div container which is handled by this script won't jump down until the page is scrolled in either direction.

I know there is a solution to this, I just don't know what.
