scrollIntoView Scrolls just too far

Question

I have a page where a scroll bar containing table rows with divs in them is dynamically generated from the database. Each table row acts like a link, sort of like you\'d see

Answer 1

This works for me in Chrome (With smooth scrolling and no timing hacks)

It just moves the element, initiates the scroll, then moves it back.

There is no visible "popping" if the element is already on the screen.

pos = targetEle.style.position;
top = targetEle.style.top;
targetEle.style.position = 'relative';
targetEle.style.top = '-20px';
targetEle.scrollIntoView({behavior: 'smooth', block: 'start'});
targetEle.style.top = top;
targetEle.style.position = pos;
