Window.scrollTo()

Summary

Scrolls to a particular set of coordinates in the document.

Syntax

window.scrollTo(x-coord, y-coord)
window.scrollTo(options)

Parameters

• x-coord is the pixel along the horizontal axis of the document that you want displayed in the upper left.
• y-coord is the pixel along the vertical axis of the document that you want displayed in the upper left.
• options is an object with three possible properties:
  • top, which is the same as the y-coord
  • left, which is the same as the x-coord
  • behavior, which is a string containing either smooth, instant, or auto; default is auto

Examples

window.scrollTo( 0, 1000 );

// this changes the scrolling behavior to "smooth"
window.scrollTo({
    top: 1000,
    behavior: "smooth"
});

Notes

This function is effectively the same as window.scroll(). For relative scrolling, see window.scrollBy(), window.scrollByLines(), and window.scrollByPages().

For scrolling elements, see Element.scrollTop and Element.scrollLeft.
