I'm backend developer, new to javascript. Can anyone provide a few lines of script that will allow the page to auto-scroll to the "target" element after the page loads
<html>
<bod>
<p id="target">...</p> // auto-scroll here
</bod>
</html>
Thanks
You can use scrollIntoView on the element in window.onload event..
In your case you would be doing:
window.onload = function() {
var el = document.getElementById('target');
el.scrollIntoView(true);
}
Good docs can be found here: MDN scrollIntoView
Also change your body tag to something like
<body onload="ScrollToTarget">
Then your function can be defined in the header as
function ScrollToTarget()
{
document.getElementById("target").scrollIntoView(true);
}
