The page uses javascript powered tabs that are initialised when the DOM becomes ready (jquery(document).ready()).  This means that the targeted tab, using a named anchor, is activated but the scroll position is incorrect, possibly attempting to anchor to the position prior to the javascript firing.  Pressing return in the location bar correctly positions the scroll.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the URL.
2. Click in the location bar and press return.
Actual Results:  
On initial load the browser is anchored below the location of the element id.

Expected Results:  
The browser should scroll to where the anchor is now.
