Hi,
I want to refresh a part of page ie iframe after particular duration.and even I want to maintain the scroll back position after refresh the iframe.
I don't want to use Update Panel I want to use pure javascript.
I tried this also (Meta to refresh and MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback )..but the scroll back position is maintained in Mozilla but not in IE..
I will just elaborate my scenario
In mainPage I have IFrame -> src = contentPage
In ContentPage I set Meta to refresh the page and I have set the MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback

I am not getting where I am wrong?
can anybody help me by code?

Niradhip is right, you can use window.scrollTo function to set the position of scroll,

function SetDivPosition(){
        var intY = document.getElementById("DivWithScroll").scrollTop;
        document.cookie = "yPos=!~" + intY + "~!";

        //add

       window.scrollTo(0,intY);
      }

Maintain scrollback position should work. If it is not working then use javascript code do it. follow the following code:

Try this script to refresh a part of page ie iframe after particular duration

Following javascript function will refresh the iframe after certain amount of time

function refreshiframe()
{
parent.iframeid.location.href="thepage.com"
setTimeout("refreshiframe()", 1500000);
}

This script to scroll to the same position (use different parameters)
