:: Details

Similar to window.scroll, window.scrollBy supports passing an options object instead of coordinates.

window.scrollBy(x, y)
window.scrollBy(options)

Tested in Firefox 60.0.1 and Google Chrome 66.0.3359.181

This is a good point — thanks for reporting! I've updated the scrollBy page now — does it look OK to you?

Thanks, looks good now.

Minor detail: The docs for scroll and scrollBy use different syntax boxes, so one has line numbers and the other does not. Maybe they should be consistent.

[1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/scroll
  uses ``<pre class="syntaxbox">``

[2] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/scrollBy
  uses ``<pre class="eval line-numbers  language-html"><code class=" language-html">``
