Can I scroll ScrollView programmatically to a specific position?

Safari Bookmark That Controls Scroll Position

  • In Safari 6, I have a folder of bookmarks on the Bookmarks Bar that I visit each day by right-clicking and choosing "Open in Tabs". I'd like one of those bookmarks to open to a specific vertical scroll position on the page in question. Is that do-able? I made an inept attempt at doing something via Javascript and found the scrolling to be inconsistent and that an empty, unnecessary tab was created. javascript:w=window.open("http://www.site.com/"); setTimeout(function() {w.scrollTo(0,1500)},10000);

  • Answer:

    I don't suppose the target page has an anchor where you want to scroll to?

You can use location.href instead of window.open so you won't get the extraneous tab. (Because you're selecting the menu item "Open in Tabs," you're already getting the fresh tab you need) I don't know about the scrolling part, though.
