Now, I know that in JS you can use scroll(x,y) to scroll to a specific xy coordinate on the page. But, is there a way to scroll to a specific coordinate within a div, or td, or something similar?

I've been reading up on it lately, but haven't been able to find an answer.

have you tried:

document.getElementById('x').scroll(x,y);


*hasn't tried it*

You'd have to find the position of the div/td first and then add that to the coordinates you want to go to. Take the get_position function I use as an example of how to get that:

Code: JavaScript

Select All

 

function get_position(id) {
var top = 0;
var left = 0;
var obj = document.getElementById(id);
if (obj.offsetParent) {
left = obj.offsetLeft;
top = obj.offsetTop;
while (obj = obj.offsetParent) {
left += obj.offsetLeft;
top += obj.offsetTop;
}
}
return Array(top, left);
}

function get_position(id) { {BR}var top = 0; {BR}var left = 0; {BR}var obj = document.getElementById(id); {BR}if (obj.offsetParent) { {BR}left = obj.offsetLeft; {BR}top = obj.offsetTop; {BR}while (obj = obj.offsetParent) { {BR}left += obj.offsetLeft; {BR}top += obj.offsetTop; {BR}} {BR}} {BR}return Array(top, left); {BR}}

 

Edit: Reading Wrightys reply it looks like we're both thinking of different things

@Wrighty: I've tried that, no avail.

@Ross: I mean if I have a div with the overflow set to scroll, how can I make that scroll to a certain coordinate rather than the whole page.

I remembered looking at Panic: Coda's site a few weeks ago, and they use a scrolling div.
From what they use, try this:

element.scrollTop = amount;

element.scrollLeft = amount;

Knew there was a way to do it; I'll try it in a sec.

Yay, it works!

Thanks Simie.

No problem

Btw:

Neither is y!

I was testing some stuff.

Glad to know it worked
