Need to implement a scrolling list with selected item visible












0















The requirement is a scroll-able list of items with a certain item highlighted, and visible by default. So, if item 50 in a list of 100 is the special selected item, the list would be initially displayed by scrolling down enough so item 50 is in the middle of the list.



This is a MEAN stack application, and I already have the items loaded from a service and populating a template using *ngFor, but the visual requirement of highlighting a specific item and making that item visible by default is not working well.



The additional requirement (isn't management great?) is that each item should be multi-line and html formatted info, so an html select filled every need except that one.



I'm currently using an un-ordered list with css overflow to handle the scrolling, but that doesn't give me the ability to scroll down to a specific item.



<nav>
<ol style="height:500px; width:100%; overflow:hidden; overflow-y:scroll;">
<li *ngFor="let item of list">
<table>
<tr *ngIf="item.store_number == my_store; else otherstore"><b>{{item.store_number}}</b></tr>
<ng-template #otherstore><tr>{{item.store_number}}</tr></ng-template>
<div style="color:gray">
<small>
<tr>{{item.detail[0].address.store_address.line1}}
{{item.detail[0].address.store_address.line2}}</tr>
<tr>{{item.detail[0].address.store_address.city}},
{{item.detail[0].address.shop_store_address.state}}</tr>
</small>
</div>
</table>
</li>
</ol>
</nav>


Any ideas on how to implement this? One last requirement: must be html/css/javascript/typescript. No purpose-built npm packages, because management.




  • Scrolling list

  • Multi-line items

  • ...with ability to format items using html/css

  • Ability to scroll down to a specific item

  • Calculate the height of your scrollable div(since you've already set it that shouldnt be a problem) and then the position of the element within that div. And then using the scrollTo()with the position as the parameter. That's how I would probably do it. With that logic you could Google how to get said variables. Would have give you a sample cos if I was home right now , but I hope that helps a bit. Good luck.
