74107 - [RFE] .scroll() support

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

[Dan Bendig]

Where as we've had use of window.scroll() since JavaScript 1.1, it's somehow 
been omitted, apparently, from the 1.5 revision implemented in Gecko. This not 
only causes a backwards compatibility issue, it causes a compatibility issue 
with my site. I merely thought that before I publish a script in which I'd be 
forced to tell users not to use Netscape 6 that I would alert someone to this 
flaw, and perhaps receive an alternative resolution.

Not a JS engine issue.

?

The Mozilla DOM does support window.scroll(), in fact it supports many different
scroll related methods, such as:

  window.scroll(x, y);
  window.scrollBy(x, y);
  window.scrollTo(x, y);
  window.scrollByPages(numPages);
  window.scrollByLines(numLines);

What's missing?

I'm closing this as worksforme, please reopen if something's still
missing/broken here.

show any scrolling related problems).
