Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

The method "static nscoord* lo_parse_coord_list(char *str, PRInt32* value_cnt)" in file "source/layout/html/base/src/nsImageMap.cpp" parses a coordinate list. 
The method "nsresult nsListControlFrame::ScrollToFrame(nsIContent* aOptElement)" in file "source/layout/html/forms/src/nsListControlFrame.cpp" scrolls to frame.

We could customize the above methods for our need by reusing some snippets/logic from the above, and coming out with our own customized methods to suit our context (like argument list, class structure). If Mozilla provides a ready-made method spec, class structure etc as we are using, we could try and directly reuse them, rather than use our customized code. (For reference, we have attached 2 files (see Files.zip) where we are using some portions of the above mentioned Mozilla files to create our own customized method implementations.)
