    It's your use of "#" for the href on each of these links. I suggest you
make redo your links in this format:

<a href="gallery/double.jpg" target="newWindow"
  onclick="openPictureWindow_Fever('gallery/double.jpg','660','275','Water
Jogger Double','0','0'); return false;">water
jogger double</a>

    This eliminates the page-scrolling problem and, as an added bonus, makes
the images accessible to those who have javascript disabled.

hth,
