JavaScript - scrollIntoView() only works in Firefox












0















I'm trying to scrollIntoView() on a SVG element. It works on Firefox as intended but on Chrome and Edge it scrolls down too far or some other place that is wrong.



<g id="clust1" class="cluster">
<title>cluster_Legend</title>
<polygon fill="none" stroke="black" points="8,-8 8,-59 2503,-59 2503,-8 8,-8"/>
<text text-anchor="middle" x="1255.5" y="-47" font-family="Times New Roman,serif" font-size="10.00">Node color legend </text>
</g>


I have a variable selectedCluster with the selected <g> element. I call scrollIntoView() on the <polygon> nested within the <g> element.



var polygon = selectedCluster.querySelector("polygon");
polygon.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"});


How do I make it so that it scrolls correctly in Chrome and Edge?



Thanks

  • Seems like a known fixed Chrome bug, not sure when you could expect to see this in production.

  • Alright thanks, I guess I'll have to find a workaround.

  • Try looking stuff up on caniuse first please. Like @ShengSlogar said, it's a known bug (in most major browsers actually), but only for the "smooth" option. caniuse.com/#search=scrollIntoView Edit: Look at this polyfill, don't know if it works for svgs: iamdustan.com/smoothscroll

  • Bookmarked, didn't know of its existence. With the smooth option off I get the same result, it just snaps to the wrong place instead.

  • Correct, smooth scrollIntoView doesn't have great support but that isn't related to your problem. You're probably better off just finding some way to finagle numbers and calculate your own scroll position. See this related answer.
