scrollIntoView is a JavaScript method that scrolls an element into view, making it visible to the user. It's a convenient way to ensure that a specific element is visible on the page, especially after some dynamic changes or user interactions.
Here's the basic syntax:
1 | element.scrollIntoView(); |
We can also pass options to control the behavior:
1 | element.scrollIntoView(options); |
The options object can have the following properties:
- behavior: Specifies the transition animation. Can be "auto" or "smooth".
- block: Specifies where to align the element. Can be "start", "center", "end", or "nearest".
- inline: Specifies where to align the element horizontally. Can be "start", "center", "end", or "nearest".
1 2 3 4 5 | function smoothScroll(){ document.querySelector('.your_class or #id here').scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' }); } |
Note : scrollIntoView only works on elements that are visible and not hidden or collapsed. Also, it doesn't work on elements that are fixed or absolutely positioned.
