jQuery focus without scroll

Try this:

$.fn.focusWithoutScrolling = function(){
  var x = window.scrollX, y = window.scrollY;
  this.focus();
  window.scrollTo(x, y);
  return this; //chainability

};

and then

$('#link').focusWithoutScrolling();

Edit:

It’s been reported that this doesn’t work in IE10. The probable solution would be to use:

var x = $(document).scrollLeft(), y = $(document).scrollTop();

but I haven’t tested it.
