Custom Notifications - CRM 2011 Rollup 12

Hello,

We have a customization that is used to add crm-like notifications on the CRM form.  The crm notifications appear in the header section of the form.  With Rollup 12 the header behaves differently - instead of having the notification we add automatically display, the header section scrolls and the notification we add is "buried" under the main section of the form.

Is there a way in JavaScript to programmatically scroll the header section down so that the notification we add is visible to the user? 

Is there a better way to provide the notifications?  I could place a custom webresource in the top tab/main body of the form, and push the custom notifications into it, but then there's the possibility that there will be notifications on both the header (CRM-generated) and in the top tab/main body of the form (custom-generated). Yuk. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
