So I am desperatley trying to get some scrolling functionality to work on a page. After not having a luck I decide to just stick window.scrollTo(0, 800); on my page to see if I could get any scrolling to happen. Nothing does happen. I have an accordion that expands and then I want to scroll to a specific element with in it. But for now I would be happy to just see the thing scroll at all. Anyone run into this?
Thanks!

If your CSS html element has the following overflow markup, scrollTop will not function. To allow scrollTop to scroll, modify your markup remove overflow markup from the html element and append to a body element.
Switch to the Touchpad tab (or Device settings if the tab is absent) and click on the Settings button. This will open the Properties window. Expand the MultiFinger Gestures section, then make sure the box next to Two-Finger Scrolling is checked. If the box is empty, simply click on it to enable it.
Method 1: Using window.scrollTo() The scrollTo() method of the window Interface can be used to scroll to a specified location on the page. It accepts 2 parameters the x and y coordinate of the page to scroll to. Passing both the parameters as 0 will scroll the page to the topmost and leftmost point.
scrollTo only works when the scroll behavior is set on html . If you have set overflow: scroll on some container inside of the DOM, then that need to be accessed. Assign an id to that. For example I have below div container for which I have set overflow: scroll .
If you have something like this:
html, body { height: 100%; overflow:auto; } If both body and html have a height definition of 100% and also scrolling enabled, window.scrollTo (and all derived scrolling mechanisms) do not work, despite a scrollbar being displayed (which can be used by the user), when the contents exceed that 100% body height. This is because the scrollbar you see is not that of the window, but that of the body.
Solution:
html { height: 100%; overflow:auto; } body { height: 100%; } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
